Review: I will preface this review that I am a fan of the authors indie work, so I went in knowing what to expect from her writing style. I honestly enjoyed the story, in an all vibes no thought kind of way. I am a character reader and I liked these characters, and I actually teared up towards the end. I'm excited to read the second book in the series.
