Written in the epistolary format, Providence Girls by Morgan Dante is a sapphic masterpiece about two miserable women desperate for a happier ending. Our main characters, writing out their bittersweet love story, Azzie and Vin, love each other, hurt each other, and learn to move forward together. Dante illustrates their short yet passionate romance, and it never feels rushed—it feels just right to the characters, deserving of this moment. The reader is left rooting for their happiness. 

 

The writing itself is gorgeous: emotionally expressive and full of literary references to deepen the story. It is deeply atmospheric, the narrative itself haunted by the impending fate—as heavy as the dampness at the heart of the story. 

 

The novel cut deep and truly should be in everyone’s September TBR. I devoured Providence Girls in one evening, and believe it is THE autumn read.
