I thought this book was a lesbian romance -- and it is -- but it's so much more
|
||
|
|
too. It's the story of two women and the difficult pasts they emerge out of. I
|
||
|
|
really enjoyed how LaCour wove together their processing of that trauma with
|
||
|
|
growing into young women, making questionable choices, finding themselves, and
|
||
|
|
ultimately each other. It's heavy at times, but also beautiful. I really enjoyed
|
||
|
|
it. Thank you, {{< tess >}}, for the gift. ❤️
