I've been debating with myself on what to rate this book... It is 3.5 stars to me, but since goodreads still hasn't added the half a star option honestly goodreads wtf I've decided to round it up to 4 instead of 3. 
 This is a really cute, kind story about love, self descovering and self acceptance. Reading an LGBT+ book that was written in the fucking 80s is really interesting. I got to read how things were back then, even when I knew things were more difficult for the LGBT+ community, reading a book on the subject gives me new points of view and ways of analyzing it. The relationship between Liza and Annie is so cute, so pure, I really was craving for them to have a happy ending; they deserve nothing but good things. I actually think I fell in love with Annie... Where can I find a girlfriend like her???? 
 At times, I found myself having to put the book down for a few minutes because it made me sO MAD. The homophobia and sTUPIDITY in this book really upset me. However, I am not saying this as a bad thing. It actually amazes me how much the comments and situations Liza had to bear with got to me. I guess I was constantly putting myself in her shoes. Fucking empathy. 
 Also, one thing I really loved and think is important to remark is how fucking important literature and books in general are in this story. When Annie and Liza find books related to homosexuality, it gives them a whole new spectre of resources to do some research and try to understand a bit better what's happening (because, let's not forget, censorship was a big deal back then and there was no Internet to come to for information. Lol). I found that really nice and real, something that still happens nowadays (damn, it happens to me every single day). 
 All in all, this is a really great book everyone should try and read, especially if you are part of the LGBT+ community. It fills you with hope and optimism and, of course, feels for this two young girls and their unbreakable love for each other.
