4.0

This book isn't groundbreaking. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've read several fanfics with approximately the same plot and feel. BUT it had me giggling and kicking my legs like a teenage girl at a slumber party. It is sexy, it is sweet, it is found family, it is religious trauma all wrapped up in a neat little package.
