A beautiful debut novel. For a brief moment, Living in California, I found some of the pieces of blatant homophobia in today's world harder to believe. Only in that it felt like life was for us "elder millennials" 15-20 years ago. But then I came back to reality and remembered I live in a mostly liberal bubble and life isn't the same across the country.

The main character feels extremely relatable and real. The stress and love of teaching, and parenting, and coming out, and staying in the closet, and family, and all of the messy in betweens.  Looking forward to more books from this author!
