Very heavy, but very well-constructed. It was a bit of a slow start, but in no time I grew attached to the whole cast of characters. Absolutely worth reading if you’re queer!

Thanks to Dutton Books for the free copy of this book.

 - My goodness, this book. OLD ENOUGH absolutely took my breath away. It's doing so much that it shouldn't work, but somehow it does and it steals your heart in the process.
- Sav and her friends are the queer found family I always hope for in literary fiction but never find. They're loud and messy and loving, projecting a confidence they don't always have but are working to gain.
- I do want to be really clear that this is a book about reckoning with assault and its lasting effects. It's a hard subject and Jakobsen handles it with nuance and care, even when her characters can't or don't.
