Yet, this novel is breathtaking, funny and reflective while dealing with the power of love, coping with your past demons and tackling todays racism. Beautifully written and gorgeous characters with hell of a trauma. I especially enjoyed the fragility of Evas and Shanes relationship: a honest reflection of reality.
All in all: read this book y’all. It’s pretty good.

Most content warnings apply to flashbacks, so you do know that the characters are in a better place in present day. But it's still pretty explicit.rachelfayreads's review
