This has been on my TBR for ages, but after it won Sundance, I knew I had to make it a priority.

This is a slow paced character study of Cameron discovering and exploring her sexuality before her guardian/aunt finds out and sends her to a conversion camp. This book is heartfelt and rich and beautiful. I absolutely adored it.

Rep: LGBT+ character, f/f romance
Trigger Warnings: homophobia, conversion therapy, loss of parents, car accident

I struggled with the pacing in this novel, but in the end I still found it a compelling read. I really love the people that Cameron meets once she arrives at Promises, though I absolutely loathe that place and found that part of the book difficult for me to read. This is the kind of book that breaks your heart but manages to help you pick up the pieces and find some hope again.
