Thank you Simon teen for an arc in exchange for an honest review!

Perfect for anyone who loved the movie The Vow, but make it sapphic and with young adults. 

Imagine living in a small conservative town, hiding a secret relationship with the girl of your dreams for two year, then with the help of a freak accident forgetting it all. Stevie forgets the past two years of her life and has a clean slate after falling into a ravine during a secret rendezvous with her girlfriend Nora. 

With a clean slate what will the people Stevie thinks she is closest to most in her life do? And more importantly what will Nora do now that the love of her life doesn’t even know who she is. 

Alyson Derrick masterfully weaves a story of love, figuring out your sexuality, realizing your parents are human and seizing what you want most in this world.

This book has my heart right now.  Being gay and living in a small conservative town, an Asian mc who must deal with racism, just the attention to several big problems for many, many Americans living in this country right now. And, not just mentioning these problems but speaking about them in this story in such an honest way.  

Stevie and Nora are in love.  They have a new life waiting for them in California.   However,  all of that changes when Stevie falls into a ravine and has permanent amnesia about the past two years after she wakes up from a coma.  

So, this is a story of friendship and finding out who your true friends really are.  About finding yourself.  This is a story about falling in love, and then forgetting everything and falling back in love with a beautiful human who never gave up.  

If you can't tell... I loved every piece of this book.  It lives up to the hype and more.  It's my new moody read for when I'm feeling cloudy.  

Out April 4, 2023!

Some warnings for racism, homophobia, and domestic violence.  

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!
