Why Did I Wait This Long to Read These Books?

Ten years ago, I read The Summer We Got Free by Mia McKenzie, and I haven’t shut up about it since. So tell me why her next novel, Skye Falling, came out four years ago, and it took me until now to read it. And then there’s The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson, which took over Book Riot in 2020. Everyone was reading and recommending it. It’s not that common that a sapphic book gets so much attention, especially a Black sapphic book, but somehow I also didn’t pick it up. I finally checked out both of these books from the library this month, and surprise, surprise: I loved them. Here are my thoughts.
