![]() There’s a good divide and balance between getting to know the two main leads and their very different internal struggles. Like McLemore’s debut novel, the writing was so beautifully and poetically constructed. I have a good feeling that readers that adored The Weight of Feathersare going to equally love this one. However, they aren’t able to earn their happily ever after immediately because the Bonner sisters, four beautiful girls rumored to be witches, have decided they want the roses that grow from Miel’s skin, and they’re prepared to reveal all of Miel’s secrets to the townspeople until she gives them up. Since the moment they met they’ve been totally inseparable it’s only natural that when they grow up the platonic love they had as kids develops into something more. Sam, also thought peculiar by the community for his deep olive tone skin and silent demeanor, is the boy that paints moons and hangs them in trees so that the town’s children can sleep with sweet dreams. Miel, the mysterious girl found in the town’s water tower, has always been considered an outcast because the hem of her skirts are often a little damp and she has roses growing out of her wrist. ![]() When the Moon Was Ours is a magical realism tale that intricately weaves multicultural elements and LGBTQ+ themes by narrating a romance between two childhood friends.
