I felt myself hunch, helplessly. I wanted to show her that I wasn't trying to argue, and that if I was accidentally, then I wanted to lose. I wanted her to win.
This is just the kind of book I love to read and will probably never get tired of.
It's a "sad girl book", and you know the author has a MFA degree. The main heroine is an anxiety-ridden teenager (18) who is equally relatable and frustrating. She falls in love with an older woman she knows nothing about. It's a simple story. You will probably enjoy it if you like this type of fiction; and you won't if you don't.
Moderate: Pregnancy, Sexual content, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Infidelity, Miscarriage, and Stalking
