The Moonstone girls is about two gay siblings in the 1960 trying to overcome the challenges that come with being queer. the representation in this book felt genuine and was done very well. it was a lot darker than I thought it would be, so make you know that before reading this, but I highly recommend you do. The only thing that I thought could be better was the pacing. 60% of this book is Tracy trying to get to Alaska, which isn't terrible but I felt you spend way too long actually getting to the heart of the story. Overall, this book gets 4 stars and I recommend you read.
ARC provided by Netgalley and Publisher exchange for an honest review
This book was beautiful and also absolutely brutal. Kind of reminded why I don't read period pieces. Same melancholy awful feeling as the Miseducation of Cameron Post.
The MoonStone Girls is a journey back for Tracy as she looks upon her life. Brooke Skipstone gives us a heartbreaking yet empowering heroine in Tracy. Skipstone kept me engaged throughout Tracy's story and the other characters. It is a rollercoaster of emotion that at the end you don't know if you want to get off because damn what a ride.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
