I'd say this book was falsely advertised. The description said there were dark secrets waiting for Vega. That led me to believe that this book might lead to some scary scenes or someone from her mother's past looking for revenge. Honestly if you took out the plot of Eve being Trans and everything that is LBGQ+ in this book. There is story. Just a person with feelings that could lead to something and an abusive narcissistic man.
