as lovely as lesbian literature always is, and as groundbreaking and cultural as this particular novel may be, I was disappointed by the toxicity of the relationship: the jealousy and possession, the gaslighting, homophobia, and uncomfortable age gap kept me from thoroughly enjoying this cult classic. however, lesbians FTW. I would have loved a happily ever after - but the ending redeemed an otherwise iffy relationship
