What a beautiful novel this was. Such realistic characters brought to life. Two women who come from traumatic pasts trying to figure out who they are and what they want...trying to figure out life. There beautiful moments, heartbreaking moments, and dark moments. The author didn't shy away from dark or negative parts of life. It you think about it though, the bad stuff the good stuff all that much sweeter and lovely.
