RECOMMENDED BY MILLIE

A radical novel on androgyny and double selves inspired by Virginia Woolf’s Orlando.

RECOMMENDED BY RILEY

Funny and gross at times, but always swiftly followed with some of the most devastating and tender prose I’ve ever read. The amount of life Tea lived in one year or rather what is gathered in this book is huge.
