This was messy and raw and real.
Pretty much like life.
Nothing was perfect and it took many compromises but it rang and FELT true.

Oh these characters are messy and I love it they all have history together and view the past differently all wanting what is best for themselves. Lot of revaluation throughout the book makes for such a rich story.

This was a very beautiful second chance romance, I was invested in the relationship from the get go. Nora and Sophie navigate their feelings and queerness while having to factor in small town Bible belt opinions. What made this book so good was the amount of history that is packed not only in the main relationship but also the rest of the town and the people who live there.
