“A sensual, slow reveal of love’s narcotic qualities and our inability to swear off of it, even as it weakens us. We’re plunged into the lives of characters bound by family as they free-fall in richly physical and symbolic worlds. The constant low hum of erotic tension sings to the cravings that course through us.”
--April Ford, author of Carousel, 2020 International Book Awards Winner for LGBTQ Fiction, Finalist Foreword Indies, LGBTQ+
