Literally binged in one day and loved every heart wrenching minute of it. This hits close to home as a person that grew up a confused queer Catholic kid so there was a lot of crying throughout, and it really wonderfully captured all the fear and shame of realizing your queer and the self-destruction you sometimes bring on yourself/others.

I'm not entirely certain what drew me to this book. Young adult, Christian lesbian romantic coming of age book isn't exactly my ordinary reading material. Romance as portrayed in novels tends to trivialize the true beauty of love by reducing it to a montage of banal misunderstandings leading to overwrought grand gestures. This was a bit different. The emotions and behaviors had a legitimacy that fiction often lacks. 

Moving and lovely.
