+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. ❤️
