A story about true identity, acceptance, trust and lies, family, small towns and ultimately love.
I sped through this book, the characters are complex and real, the story - one of heartbreak and desperation. I loved how the main characters were in the midst of their lives, how that made everything more realistic and yet more complicated for them. Despite some spiteful characters, the story is one of hope and hope for anyone out there who is scared to show their true selves or has to hide from others.
The only thing I would say is that the couple dynamic and constant arguing, sniping at each other doesn’t give a positive light on the relationship, but considering the circumstances.., they both come with a lot of baggage and I think that’s the biggest point of this… coming out later on in life comes with a lot more baggage.
