Checking Availibility...Description
When Tree Abraham falls in love with her housemate, who does not reciprocate the feeling, instead of breaking up, they keep going. This story begins where most end.
elseship deftly and compassionately recounts the year that followed a friendship confronted by unrequited love. Abraham details the beauty and mania of this experience, mapping thought pathways, confessing ugly truths, and treading the edges of eroding territory.
?In these pages, Abraham interweaves personal entries and research with illustrations, photos, and diagrams, all organized within the eight ancient Greek categories of love. Written with reverence and searching honesty, elseship deconstructs the heteronormative canon to explore the bittersweet, lonely, uncharted archipelago of the heart. This is a deeply specific yet universal story of modern love that will accompany and enlighten anyone who's been in any kind of complicated "ship."

Reviews
"elseship is a gift-one that is sure to resonate deeply with those who dare to dwell in the fluid spaces between so many different types of love. Through her delicate attentiveness to the weight that words carry, Abraham writes towards a language that creates space for "love beyond [the] structure" of "amatonormative wants," showcasing and celebrating that queer friendship is not always so straightforward." -Avery Qurashi, Room Magazine
