I devoured this book. It’s rare for me to become an instant fan of an author but I’ll read anything Lark has to give. This was like sinking into a hot bath in winter after a long day. Comforting and sensual in a way that is addictive. I liked how the characters were aware of their own flaws and we got to see them imperfectly accounting for them. I love that we were given plenty of time for joy amongst the conflict. I liked that the plus size character was not the only one with body issues. 

Maybe I’ll come back and write more but I’m so tired from staying up late two nights in a row to finish this which is as high a complement as I can personally offer.
