This was a rough read. The heavy homophobia and other bigotry certainly does not make this an easy read. The characters were lovely and I kept wishing them all the best, so I kept pushing through so I could get to their happy ending. And I’ll always be a sucker for the lesbian’s himbo best friend <3

Absolutely no notes. Beautiful story. Thought I had made it through without crying and then I read the last 3 chapters.

This book plays with the amnesia trope in a way that is very unique. I love how Stevie’s pov is written. Ultimately, some of the relationships between Stevie and her friends seem a little off, and too many characters seem really flat, and developments seem to be pushed along regardless of whether the groundwork for them had really been laid. It is a good story about the power of tenacity and love to change your world.
