For the Love of Many

Things I liked:
The story felt very original, the characters had developed personalities (and traumas), and they were highly complex. The Prohibition era isn’t a common time period for lesfic, and I enjoyed it as a glimpse of history through fiction, as this author has depicted it—parties, compulsory heterosexuality, abuse, and messy sapphic love.

Things I wished were different:
Narrative focus could use some more organization or maybe clearer markers of the transitions from Nadine’s to Billie’s actions/thoughts. I wished it were clearer why Nadine was married in the first place, and why she couldn’t just tell Billy that.
