Rosewater

A fantastic debut novel from Little. Rosewater is quiet, contemporary, and has a real emotional heft. The characters felt real to today and real to London, they had wit and personality.

I enjoyed the vulnerability of the story, Elsie’s relationship with her Nan being a highlight for me. The climax of the story felt a little out of step with the rest of the book, but didn’t hamper my enjoyment of it overall.

Pick up this book if: you love to read the book before it gets turned into a BBC mini series (which I think it would make a great one!)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book follows the story of Elsie, who has just been made homeless and goes on to live with her best friend, Juliet. During their months of living together, Elsie grapples with employment, her family relationships, and realising her love for her best friend. The plot twists in the second half of the book definitely kept me on my toes and it was so beautifully written. I particularly loved the poetry woven throughout.

Elsie, 28, lives in London, working a minimum-wage bar job to support herself until she finds success as a writer and poet. In a run of bad luck, she is evicted from her flat, and the bar closes. Elsie moves into her best friend Juliet's spare room. They have been estranged for a while, so it is a bit tense at first. Elsie has casual relationships with a couple of women, and Juliet has a new boyfriend, Andrew. The book is about their work, relationships, friendships and families, while they are trying to sort out their feelings for each other,
There is success and sadness for Elsie, and some unexpected twists to the story. I really like the way it portrays how how you experience life as a young woman, including the strong feelings and drama. There are some lovely women in the book. Elsie's Nan and Juliet's Mum Helen are strong women in different ways, and Maggie is a great character, with a lot of wisdom. The poetry was also gorgeous. An excellent debut from a fantastic woman, highly recommended.

Rosewater

Rosewater is one of my most anticipated for the year of 2023, so the fact I got to read this early and be the final book I read in 2022 I feel so lucky and so grateful. No suprises are about to come when I say this was Incredible! I had no worries about it not being either. I just had intuition and it came true.
2023 debuts to look out for, get this one on the top of your list.

In this irresistible and masterful novel from Debut author Liv Little we follow Elsie a black queer poet, living in London, but Everything seems to just be going wrong for her, being in debt, just losing her flat, having a rocky relationship with her parents, losing her job… what more needs to happen before life starts to look up for her for once.

We follow Elsie moving through life, trying her damn hardest to be seen and worthy,wether that be by her Friends and family, or by strangers she meets at open mic nights for her poetry as she tries to make being a poet a career to where she can feel 100% stable and fulfilled in her life, but it’s hard and we just see Elsie go through so much in this book, emotionally, physically and more.

An extra touch I loved about this book was seeing some of the poetry Elsie was writing be brought onto the page and us the readers being able to read some of them in this book and they really are a big bridge into bringing parts of this story together too.

Is a poetry collection on The way from the author Liv Little ?? If not, I need it. Just saying 😂

This is a super lead title for Dialogue books in 2023 and you can understand so much why, it is so deserving of that and I for sure cannot wait for you all to be treated to the beauty of this novel.

Rosewater will be releasing 20th April 2022.

Rosewater is a debut novel about a queer Black woman living in London, a poet who works at a local gay bar but is sinking. When Elsie is evicted from her home, her best friend Juliet who she's not spoken to in months lets her stay in her spare room. Elsie tries to find purpose in her life and reconnect with both her poetry and her loved ones, but it is hard to keep these fragile things together, especially when she realises some of the things she's been hiding from herself.

This is a book that brings you into Elsie's world, into precarious millennial existence in London and the difficulties of wanting to make art and have love when you are struggling. The pace starts off quite slowly and feels similar to other novels about people spiralling in their life, unable to communicate what is going on to those around, but it gets faster as the book goes on, with much more drama in the second half of the book. By the end of the book, I was very invested in the characters, and was glad that the ending brought hope. Partway through I did worry it would end up being one of those books where the narrator never really gets anywhere and nothing really happens, but thankfully that wasn't the case.

There's a lot woven into the book, from adjusting to change to accepting love to navigating dating, sex, and friendship. Through Juliet there's also a look at prejudice against sex work, and in general the book looks at forms of work in the modern day and the overwhelming presence of money (or lack of it) in life. I liked the ways in which sexuality and gender were written in the book, with details that felt real but the focus always being on how Elsie needed to learn to stop sabotaging herself.

Bold and emotional, Rosewater told a great queer story of falling in love with your best friend alongside the difficulties of getting yourself on track when the world seems against you.

A totally different genre from what I usually read and I have to say I enjoyed it! The story follows Elsie who has just been made homeless and follows her through an emotional rollercoaster of her relationships and trying to get her poetry published. A good read would recommend thankyou to all for advanced copy.

4.5*

I really enjoyed this excellent novel. It makes a particularly impressive debut, full of feeling and voice, with a really keen ear for characterisation, and a strong sense of place.

Elsie was an excellently depicted character, sympathetic, multifaceted, interesting and sexy, and I found her narrative compelling. It was one of those books where I kept saying 'just one more chapter' on and on....

One theme that I found particularly interesting throughout the novel was in how it showed the fall and rise of community. The Black run queer friendly bar might shut, relationships may falter, people move in and out, but the new community shop may rise, new homes are found and new relationships emerge. There was a strong sense of hopefulness, that people can form bonds and create new things.

I'm really excited to see what Liv Little will achieve in the future!

*Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free ARC*

I was really excited to read this novel given all the pre-publication hype and I think it will do well on release. It’s an enjoyable read although I found it started to drag more in the second half and it’s over-written in places (there’s a lot of simultaneous showing and telling which didn’t add anything for me and the dialogue wasn’t always naturalistic). Nonetheless, a fresh voice and an important perspective that deserves a wider audience. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

At the core of Liv Litte's fabulous debut is a classic love story which is made current and relatable by the issues that the main character Elsie is going through - anxiety, career struggles, UK housing crisis and being the oldest daughter...
Many of us can relate to Elsie and are rooting for her throughout, Liv Little asks us to be patient whilst our Elsie figures it out. We're rewarded along the way with rich supporting characters, delicious food and powerful poetry from Kai-Isaiah Jamal.
Liv Little's debut novel is a promising foundation for her to build on, I'm looking forward to what she shares with us next.

( thank you so much to netgalley and liv little for a free arc in exchange for an honest review! )

Rosewater is a beautiful debut by Liv Little that manages to capture the experience of being a sapphic black woman in a unique and impactful way.

To begin I think I should say this for all white readers coming in: really think about how you review this novel because it is not here for you to be comfortable. This is not going to be easy for you to relate to, there are times when Elsie makes clear how much she holds her culture, identity, and blackness dear and I need y'all to know and understand that because I've already seen some of you beneath this book irritating me as a black, bisexual woman.

Elsie and Juliet are two people whose love for each other had the effect of polarizing them. The author does a wonderful job of showing how coming from two different backgrounds where love was shown or not shown at all affects how we seek out love from others.

I love Elsie to pieces and stuck by her even though she was really going through it. I think that her characterization was done so well and that she charms you without intending to. She feels like the messy, in-her-twenties character that so many white women get in shows and books that I've always been messy. She was so brave even when she was fucking up.

Juliet and I had...feelings about each other. However, her character gave way to one of my favorite portions of the book which was the conversation about sex work and the depth that it was given. It opened up my eyes as a reader to how sex work not only impacts the worker but how the derision and disgust of others can in fact ruin your life.

(Andrew sucked.)

The only downside to this novel was how quickly the ending happened and that it had to be the way to conclude all of the things that were up in the air. It was really jarring to read, I'm not going to lie.

All in all, this book was a good read. I think it's important, I think it's well done, and I think it gives black queer women the Fleabag experience they refuse to give us.

OMG IM SCREAMING, CRYING, I WANNA THROW UP!

This book really makes you feel all the things. This book was soo good! I couldn’t put it down. I’ve not flown through a book so fast in such a long time. It was sexy, it made me wanna scream at Elsie, and I also wanted to throw it across the room at the last 25%. But in a good way. It’s 4:18 am, I’m gonna go cry myself to sleep now.

Just for context some trigger warnings: mental abuse by a partner, panic attacks, alcohol and drug-use very mild, sexual content-nothing too crazy, cheating,

I’d describe this book as realistic fiction. The author has done an amazing job of creating imaginary characters and situations that depict the world and society. The characters focus on themes of growing, self-discovery and confronting personal and social problems.

The E-Book could be improved and more user-friendly, such as links to the chapters, no significant gaps between words some text written has been typed in red and a cover for the book would be better. It is very document-like instead of a book. A star has been deducted because of this.

This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if in a bookshop. Thank you very much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

Simultaneously razor sharp yet dreamlike, Rosewater follows poet Elsie as she navigates life, love, creativity and self. Suddenly homeless, Elsie has to move in with her best friend Juliet; the bond between the two women is beautifully explored, and without any exposition the author manages to convey the depth and history of their intimacy; you understand that this is a lifelong and life-defining friendship. As Elsie struggles to find her path and get her work out there, she has to deal with family issues, relationships failing and the coming to terms with her own feelings. This novel is beautifully written and powerfully executed. It will stay with you.

I really enjoyed this -to me it was a sweet, modern romance story. Reminded me of Sorrow & Bliss and Queenie with the type of self-sabotaging, down-on-their-luck main character that sits fully formed in your mind, I really wanted to help Elsie get her foundations right and for her to flourish.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC!

Elsie is a poet struggling to find a way to profit from her passion. Evicted from the only place she has considered home since leaving her family at 16, she moves in with her best friend Juliet. Through her relationships with those around her, Elsie gets the chance to explore her own feelings towards the people around her and towards herself.

The poetry in this book is by Kai-Isaiah Jamal and is absolutely stunning - I'm normally not a fan of poetry but it was so evocative!

Elsie can be quite an unlikeable character but I did feel a strong connection with her. She loses her home and struggles to share her emotions with others which is something I can definitely relate to but I can also understand why this would put people off.

It has been marketed towards fans of Queenie which I can understand but I don't think this is the best way to promote the book. Reading this, Elsie isn't written in as sympathetic a way as Queenie is and we don't get much insight into the feelings behind Elsie's actions at the start.

I've seen other readers DNF this around a quarter of the way through and I can understand why. There was so much going on in this book and it wasn't until about halfway through that I really felt like I wanted to see how it would end.

All in all, I did enjoy this book and I'm glad I pushed through to the end!

Ahh, I loved Rosewater. Loved the characters, loved the premise, loved how fluidly and naturally the sexuality of the characters was discussed and written about. Fantastic.

It was so refreshing to read a black, queer romance, it has an emotional core but easily readable, great for a holiday

I loved this book. Elsie, the main character is great. She's flawed and a bit frustrating but you can see where that comes from. Her experiences of life, of being poor, of struggling with her family. All mean that she can't quite work out what she's doing.
There were some really good supporting characters too. Even those who didn't appear much were really well described. I felt like I knew these people.
There's a nice arc to the narrative which I liked. Although it was familiar it also felt fresh. That's a hard balance to achieve. I'd love to read more books by this author.

An interesting read, and I loved how the underrepresented come to the front in this one. Some great complicated characters, and a thoughtful plot.

The poetry didn't offer anything extra for me. But overall, a nice read.

I didn't know what to expect from this but I really loved it. At times Elsie seriously frustrated me, but I really rooted for her and loved the relationship between her and Juliet.
All the characters were complex and not perfect but not perfectly awful either. The queer representation was also really well done.

This book had me hooked from the first page. I loved everything about it - the characters, the writing, the storyline, the setting, the queer rep & vegan rep... The strong character development made this book a standout for me. If you like female 20-30 something characters who are a bit lost in life, then give this one a go. I'd recommend it especially to those who enjoyed Queenie and Such A Fun Age. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of the book.

What an incredible debut. It is bold, emotional, and filled with complicated characters and frustrating developments, but it was such a beautiful piece of writing which left me both in tears and beaming with joy whilst simultaneously rooting for Elsie and her growth. I am very excited to read more from Liv Little!
Thank you NetGalley and Dialogue Books for the advanced reading copy.

Rosewater tells the story of Elsie, who we first meet as she is being evicted for not paying her rent. Elsie is a poet who works part time at her local queer bar and doesn't have the safety net of family to fall back on (though I wonder how much of that was her own stubbornness?). Elsie was a completely authentic character: at various points throughout the book I wanted to shake her for being such a mess, then scoop her up and give her a hug. The full cast of characters were fully fleshed out and felt very real, and it felt very true to life as a young person.

A brilliant debut novel which is both, sexy, chaotic and authentic, Rosewater completely enthralled me.

Rosewater is a strong debut novel from Liv Little. I liked the incorporation of Elsie’s poetry - it added an extra level to reading the book. The narrative was moving, particularly Elsie and Juliet’s relationship, and although none of the characters are perfect (maybe Cherry and Maggie), I became attached to them all (with one obvious exception). The positive and realistic depictions of sexuality in this were also heartening. As this is a debut, there were some pacing and plotting issues. However, though I could see certain twists coming, and though I was sometimes frustrated by the miscommunication, I was still absolutely riveted.

I loved this book. New author, new approach, great characters.
It's easy to fall in love, isn't it?
Best friends and life's ever changing circumstances....... A past, a present and you'll hope for a future.
More please xx

"I know that’s what I’ve been searching for, something beautiful and pure and easy, but life keeps getting in the way."

We meet Elsie, an aspiring, Queer poet, in the midst of a devastating showdown with a baliff. After struggling to manage her finances & debts, Elsie is evicted from her home, and forced to make ammends with her former bestie, after she realises she has noone else to turn to. Battling with anxiety, a situationship - or two, unemployment, broken family relationships, Elsie's world is breaking down in everyway imaginable. When a chance to win a book deal comes her way, can Elsie put everything to the side and give herself a chance at grabbing her dreams?

Elsie is a really tricky character to understand and love, she uses sex for intimacy, and also as a shield. She has a penchant for making the wrong choices without thinking of the consequences, as a reader it made me really irate. I wanted her to learn & change for the better, but as the saying goes: Rome wasn't built in a day.

It was an easy read, I found that Elsie felt rather familiar to me , this may be due to the use of slang throughout. I think we've all had a friend who is/was a bit of a loose cannon, so for Elsie I was intrigued to see where her story would end. I personally would have preferred that the second half of "Rosewater" continued as the 1st half did, however, the genre in my opinion took a swift U-Turn to become a romance story. I do love a good romance, but I felt that Elsie's character would have benefitted from more identifying her issues without using romance as a buffer. I also would have loved to have read more of Elsie's poetry 🤔

Something I heavily rated in "Rosewater" was that Elsie enforced her boundaries with her family throughout! No hesitation, whatsoever. I was here for it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

For lovers of "Queenie", this one may be right up your street!

Release date 20th April 2023

🖤🖤🖤🖤/5

I was keen to read this after seeing it promoted by @bookbar and hearing it compared to ‘Such a Fun Age’ and ‘Queenie’, two novels I’ve previously enjoyed. However, I was conflicted after reading several reviews slating it for being poorly edited and overwritten. Going in with a sense of trepidation, I was pleasantly surprised.

Elsie is a twenty-something lesbian living in South London and trying to find her way as a poet, navigating a lack of income, homelessness and suddenly falling in love with her longstanding best friend. After being unceremoniously removed from her flat having failed to pay rent, she finds herself astray in London, sleeping in the spare room belonging to her best friend Juliet and trying desperately to make a living as a poet whilst also experiencing writer’s block.

As a character, Elsie is fiercely independent, stubborn and relatable. Whilst the story is somewhat long and the plot a little loose, with whole sections that probably could have been slimmed down, I liked Little’s character building, and felt that she had a keen eye for capturing the everyday hustle and bustle of London living.

I do think the book got better, with the second half feeling less ‘debut novel’ and more realistic, and whilst I was initially leaning toward a three star rating, I found myself thinking about Elsie and her narrative arc on and off for days after having finished the novel.

Perfect for people looking for something real and character driven, perfect for young, adrift Londoners, and perfect for those still trying to figure out who they are and who they want to become.

A love letter to being young, black and queer in London, in your 20s.

Thank you NetGalley and Dialogue Books for sending me this advanced copy for review.

Rosewater is an impressive debut, following the story of Elsie on a journey of love and self-discovery through a streak of bad luck. The story highlights a sense of hope, something that Elsie discovers as her own story progresses, and she is helped along by her friends and Nan.

What really stood out to me after finishing the book was how much Liv Little had managed to cram into her debut — sexuality, mental health, money troubles, career, family relationships - all while depicting a compelling and complex character in Elsie.

I loved Elsie but wow did I want to scream at her at some points — Liv Little manages to get this balance just right and in the end I was definitely rooting for her. I’m not sure if it’s because I was born and raised in London but Elsie felt so familiar to me, as if she could be someone I’ve interacted with.

As much as I enjoyed the ending, I didn’t think a romance was the happy ending Elsie needed. She spent so much of the book discovering herself, exploring new things and setting boundaries in her personal and work life, that the ending felt slightly rushed to just round it all up with a love interest.

Overall, this was a great debut and an insight into what it means to be black and queer in your 20s. Rosewater is definitely one to pick up when it comes out on 20 April 2023!

COULDN'T TAKE MY HANDS OFF THIS BOOK !! Devoured it in a couple days!
So cinematic, please adapt it into a film?!
Elsie is such a relatable character, especially as a reader who is also in her late twenties and a struggling poet! The storylines and characters' developments were so beautifully crafted. It was such an amazing moment of escapism yet I remained deeply anchored in reality cos we all know an Andrew (unfortunately!!!) a Maggie, a Juliet, an Elsie etc... I loved the parts written about family. Actually I loved everything, cannot wait to recommend it at the bookshop when it comes out :D
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC :)

I had heard so much about this novel and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It explores the ups and downs of London life for a twenty-something woman who is kicked out of her flat in the first chapter. Elsie wants to make it as a poet and writer but without a backup plan, money or a strong family unit, she comes to heavily rely on her best friend Juliet. From the start, we know that something caused them to not speak for a few months, but Juliet is still there as Elsie’s safety net as she faces homelessness. The novel explores their complex relationship, as well as Elsie’s tricky relationship with her parents, her career struggles and anxiety. Elsie is a flawed character but Little builds her in such a way that we are happy to be patient with her as she figures things out. Elsie is funny, clever and adores her grandmother. The secondary characters are well-fleshed out too and the poetry (by Kai-Isaiah Jamal) is beautiful, adding further depth to the novel. I went back and re-read the poems at the end to really appreciate them as I couldn’t stop turning the pages on first read, to find out what was going to happen. Looking forward to reading more by Liv Little in the future.

🌹Rosewater Review🌹
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I think the main reason I enjoyed this novel so much is because of the main character. Elsie is a beautiful mess!
She spends her days writing poetry and her nights doing shifts in a dive bar for minimum wage. Suddenly, she finds herself evicted and has to turn to her best friend since childhood, Juliet, for help. In between the chaos of her life, Elsie is able to explore love and healing whilst also pursuing her dream.

There's a range of topics discussed in Rosewater and I appreciated how they were handled realistically. While I was reading this, I found myself involved in various discussions. Juliet's career choices was also the most prominent conversation I had, especially with my other teaching friends.

I loved the relationship between Elsie and her grandmother, the Caribbean representation was a plus too! However, I did find myself wanting the relationship between Elsie, her grandmother and her mother to be explored more.

The added element of poetry allowed tender moments to be created, not just between Elsie and the other characters, but Elsie herself as we got glimpses into her mind. As an aspiring writer myself, I'm most definitely biased but poetry definitely made this one of my favourite reads this years. The only reason I haven't rated it five stars, is because I wished there was more!

Overall, Rosewater was a breath of fresh air and made me realise that it's okay to be a mess. Maybe not as much of a mess as Elsie was, but I definitely think it's a great read for someone in their twenties or thirties trying to figure out life, especially if you come from a background as turbulent as the main the main characters!

Thank you again to @netgalley
@dialoguebooks for the early copy!

💗Make sure you grab your copies April 20th!💗

A great profile of a life not often seen by mainstream publishers. Rich in details and embodied emotion, this book teaches you a lot about life, love, and living in London today. I eagerly anticipate what's to come from Little in the future!

Ohh this book had so many interwoven plot lines and characters that made it really interesting and captivating. I love the poetry aspect and that Elise finally got her happy ending eventually

This book deserves to soar. Liv Little’s writing is vibrant, funny, sexy and tender. Talented but troubled Elsie is a character the reader is rooting for from page one. I raced through Rosewater - couldn’t put it down!

This is a must read book. I really enjoyed this book. So well written and never a dull moment. It was about friendship, struggles with life and how sound people face more difficulties than others but also about how you can overcome your fears and lack of confidence when you are feeling down and how things will fall into place. A+++

I LOVED reading this book. I connected to the main character, Elsie, almost instantly, and found great value in the poetry. A well-written, gut-wrenching novel to get lost in, to relish, and to revisit!

I’m about a full generation off the target demographic here, but I can imagine for young queer black creatives with aspirations of escaping to the cheap ends of the big city that Rosewater could easily become The Book. I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t also soon become The Film as the vividness of both the characters and their environments really jumped off the page, from Juliet’s nag champa infused flat to Leonie’s perfect slick of red lipstick. You will love Maggie, you will fancy Bea, and you will hate Andrew - those are just the rules. Your mileage may vary with protagonist Elsie, who fumbles from one poor decision to another, but ultimately is doing the best she can to build something stable on shaky foundations.

A lot of ground is covered in ~300 pages but Little does a good job of keeping everything afloat. I’m not sure if the book is just set pre-2020 but it does seem to deny all knowledge of the past few years. Orange wine is not what springs to mind as London’s most fatal flaw these days, and in-person Job Centre meetings feel like a vision of another world - but perhaps that’s what a lot of us are looking for. Following in the footsteps of counterculture filmmakers like Spike Lee and Jamie Babbit, Little studs her story with a long run of arguably clunky cultural references - a well-mapped treasure hunt for her readers to run off afterwards and find more gold. It’s a style that’s not for everyone, but I always absolutely love it - a sucker for extra credit. Consider Yebba now on the playlist and Langston Hughes on the TBR.

Ultimately, if you’re looking for a YA sensibility with more mature themes (work, debt, drugs, super hot sapphic sex scenes) and less moral didacticism, you’re probably gonna love this book. Thanks to NetGalley and Dialogue Books for allowing me to read and review an advance copy.

Rosewater hooked my interest right from the beginning. The writing style is beautiful while also being incredibly accessible. Each character is unique with their own individual voice yet they interact with one another very fluidly and I especially enjoyed following Elsie and Julliet's journey from estranged friends to much more. Although I found some of the character's poor decisions to be more thoughtless than understandable, I really liked Elsie growing into her own and maturing as the novel went on. Her relationship with her grandmother provided a different side to the enigmatic London setting the novel began with, but I loved their relationship and how they had more in common than Elsie originally thought. Thank you very much to Netgallery and the publisher for a chance to read this advanced e-copy

An amazing debut novel, Elsie was such an interesting main character to follow. Although her self-destructive behaviour was frustrating to read at times it was clear she was aware of what she needed to work on and I felt really attached to her by the end when she had grown so much. The poetry sections were amazing and I would have loved if they were included throughout the text more frequently,

Her relationship with Juliet was fascinating to explore and I felt like a lot of their confusion and deep chats were pretty painfully realistic depictions of that kind of historic and complicated friendship. I really loved her relationship with Maggie in particular and all the other side characters were nicely fleshed out. Reading intimate scenes between queer women that were written tenderly and with emotion was so refreshing.

I was completely hooked by this and can't wait to see more fiction from Liv Little!

A fantastic, contemporary story of love, friendship and family. Elsie is very relatable and you warm to her, especially as she faces up to her anxieties that trace back to her childhood. I liked how the relationships she has with the other characters change and develop as the story progresses. The last few chapters are a bit of a curve ball but the underlying love and siupport that runs through this part of the story keep it together.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read Rosewater

I really enjoyed Rosewater. It had a different unique feel to the writing, plot and also the characters that felt refreshing to read.

We begin by meeting Elsie who is being evicted, casually sleeping with Bea who she works with and also about to become unemployed.... She moves in with her best friend Juliet who is a teacher by day and cam girl by night - love it! The book takes us through the weeks that follows.

I enjoyed how sexual the books were in parts, the openness and frankness were great and also loved how much of a freak Elsie was and that came out with Bea but also with the relationship between her and Juliet, I could feel from the pages they bounced off each other and def something between them!

I adored the poetry and social side - the poems were incredible and great inclusion in this book,. I almost felt that I was at the poetry night with them

The book was a great story of friendship and love and I will be recommending to others and looking out for more from Liv
