When We Lost Our Heads

“Set in the fictional Golden Mile neighbourhood of Montreal in the 1800s, the novel follows two best friends, Marie Antoine and Sadie Arnett, who develop a deep and obsessive friendship early in childhood.”

Easily one of my top 5 favorite books now. It’s so delicious. I’ve never read a friendship between girls written this way, and I’m not sure how because it’s so very much how I experienced mine growing up. Almost-Sapphic, masculine, competitive, but intrinsically girly and nearly fatal.
