“There’s not much I love more than a protagonist needing to reckon with their past, especially when it means trying to understand it from an older, healthier perspective, and that’s exactly what Ursula Villareal-Moura’s novel promises to offer.”
— Ilana Masad, them

“Seamlessly alternating between these two timelines, Villarreal-Moura writes with stunning emotional clarity about sexual identity, art and marginalization, and the ways control can masquerade as love.”
