This touches on a lot of hard things, especially about being a lesbian in a small conservative community and the significant impact that has on a person’s well-being. I related to some of it and the stuff I didn’t relate to directly was written so that it was easy to empathize.

absolutely LOVED this one. the storytelling felt original, the characters were fleshed out perfectly. i think emily austin's character studies are meant to feel like punches to the gut, and this one got me even moreso than her last two. sigrid spoke to me so deeply and i will carry her with me for a long time. i wish we could be rats.

Sometimes a good book hits you at just the right time. For me, that was this book about two very different sisters who end up understanding each other better because of a medical emergency. 

Almost 5 stars except that I really wanted a hit you over the top of your head hopeful ending.
