Honestly, this is a fantastic book and really well written, especially with all the incredible rep and carefully handled sensitivity with hard issues. 

It was harder to read than I expected just due to the content, mentally challenging, that is. It’s very intense. So if you’re looking for a feel-good, less emotionally intense romance, I’d probably find something else.

emotional hopeful medium-paced

5.0

100/5 stars. This book has a romance subplot and a happily ever after, but it more of a fiction read in my opinion. Reading this book was affirming in more ways than I could’ve ever imagined. It helped me see so much of what’s happened in my own life over the past few years. In watching Anna take care of herself and return to her passions, I feel like I can daydream about the future again. It’s feels like taking a good, deep breath. I’ll never love another book quite like I love this one.
