More about found family and finding your purpose and closure after grief than romance, which was nice.
Loved that it was a bi woman and a lesbian, I need more of that pairing I think.

Maybe the problem is that I was expecting a different kind of book. I was also not a fan of the love story, since it takes them half the book to actually meet and then they fall in love instantly. Where's the pinning? Where's the yearning? Where's the idea that love is something that you build and strengthen through time?
Anyway. At least the writing style was beautiful.

And it's not strictly a romance, so it makes sense the story focused more on other elements of both women's journeys, but I didn't feel a connection between them at all. It read as though they were the only queer women in the vicinity (i.e. in the book), so they may as well date.
It was a decent story, and very well written, but I didn't find that it offered anything exceptionally unique.
