Annie and Elise meet at a coffee shop in a part of town they are watching change for the worst. Despite the fact that Annie is leaving for Vietnam in a week, they decide to honor their instant connection for what it is: a little unhinged, possibly doomed but full of a weirdly familiar and addictive beauty they cant quite put their fingers on.
A mix betweenGhost WorldandNormal People,Heavenly Daysis a deeply emotional trans love story about how some love can feel so life-affirming yet seemingly so hard to live through.
Funny, and heartbreaking,Heavenly Daysis a book that demands to not be read so much asfelt.
