**I received this book as an ARC in return for my honest review**
This book was so good! It did take me a bit to get into it, it’s much slower paced than I was expecting, but it opened into a beautiful book dealing with many heavy topics. There’s always space for books with great bisexual representation, and Tabitha is definitely great! She’s still struggling with events from her past, her mother not accepting her, and this impacts how she handles relationships, keeping it light and shallow. With Dean she also tries to, but he finds the way to her heart. At times, I did think they both should communicate more openly with each other, but the story does make it obvious why they choose the way they do. Dean is having a hard time with his identity too, trying to find out his place and his worth after ending his fighting career. In the end, this book is about finding your way back to your home, to your heart.
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥.5 (special shout-out to the Rocky steps scene!)
