Overuse of the word "sex" even referring to genitalia but other than that I adored it ❤️

Enjoyable and relatively quick read. Didn’t grip me as much as I had hoped, but Anna and Quan’s story was sweet and honestly the highlight.

Anna and her family drove me up a wall, and often felt like a losing battle. The proposal party chapters had me worked up enough that I needed to walk away for a bit 😂

Overall, a sweet story of self-discovery, personal growth, grief, and found family.
