About this item

Best friendship blossoms into something more in this gorgeously written queer literary romance.. Over the past five years, Mitra Esfahani has known two constants: her best friend Bea Ortega and The Book - a dogeared moleskin she and Bea have been filling with the stanzas of an epic, never-ending poem since they were 13.. For introverted Mitra, The Book is one of the few places she can open herself completely and where she gets to see all sides of brilliant and ebullient Bea. There, they can share everything - Mitra's complicated feelings about her absent mother, Bea's heartache over her most recent breakup - nothing too messy or complicated for The Book.. Nothing except the one thing with the power to change their entire friendship: the fact that Mitra is helplessly in love with Bea.
