I really enjoyed most of it, and the passion that developed between the protagonist and her lover did seem convincing. Something about the narration was slightly awkward though I can't put my finger on what. The protagonist might be a little bit of a Mary Sue, I guess because I don't think of sexuality as a flaw, so otherwise she was wholesome, loving, forgiving, all the positive things. Maybe too many. Idk.
