I'd say this book was falsely advertised. The description said there were dark secrets waiting for Vega. That led me to believe that this book might lead to some scary scenes or someone from her mother's past looking for revenge. Honestly if you took out the plot of Eve being Trans and everything that is LBGQ+ in this book. There is story. Just a person with feelings that could lead to something and an abusive narcissistic man.

An inspiring story. This is my first book by Melissa Payne amd definitely wont be my last.
.I loved the characters, writing style and story. I felt like i was in Crystal with Vega and i was also friends with everyone there. I felt like i knew them.
By the way Lake Union whoever did this cover did a beautiful job with it.

This is one of those books where everything comes full circle, comes together, and just makes sense. Other than being written in 3rd person, I absolutely loved it.

I’ve decided not to rate this book. Out of all fairness, this book just wasn’t for me. Definitely read the trigger warnings.
