This was a very beautiful second chance romance, I was invested in the relationship from the get go. Nora and Sophie navigate their feelings and queerness while having to factor in small town Bible belt opinions. What made this book so good was the amount of history that is packed not only in the main relationship but also the rest of the town and the people who live there.
