wowww I really really liked this. I almost teared up a bit at the end too. I loved reading along Jayne's journey, her thoughts aligning similarly with my own, how she saw the world around her and the descriptions of Texas almost make me want to visit just to see that big vast night sky :')
Jayne is such an interesting character that I saw so much of myself in unfortunately lol but she's just a young gal going through it, too in her head all the time, it was almost like reading my own thoughts at times, especially her relationship with her mum oof.
this was a journey. I just feel really happy that this book exists, I don't know how to put it into words but I feel connected to this novel somehow. it just got me.
I kinda wish the ending was a little more fleshed out but I also don't mind too much.
loved it and I'm off to read more some of mary's books!
