This is so beautifully written. I ended up just thinking about this book for weeks after I'd finished. I loved the multiple pov. The characters are not perfect, they are not always likable, but they feel very real that way, and most redeem themselves in the end. This is a story of how important it is to share our truth with the people we love without assuming their response, but also how important it is to hear them in return.

The narrator's voices for the audio were lovely.
