Wow! What a rollercoaster! I loved it! It was complicated and real. The characters make so many difficult decisions that require sacrifice to do what is right for the people they love. 
And a very realistic look at trauma responses and how healing is hard but possible if you find the resources and can do the work.

Much love to these characters I just want to give them all a big hug! 💜🦄

Abby Jimenez never misses. This book warmed my heart, then ripped it out and stomped all over it, then put it back in a thousand times over. If you have mommy issues, make sure you think long and hard about whether you’re ready to think about them because this book will really give you something to think about. Emma and Justin had a sweet, simple bond that I think spoke to the message of the book. Something uncomplicated between them in their extremely complicated lives. At any rate, this book is an emotional rollercoaster, but Jimenez treats it with beautiful, tender care.
