This is such a beautiful story! I wasn't expecting to cry so much, but I felt so touched.

Iris's growth was so lovely and honestly inspiring, and Jordan's healing, wow. It was such a great journey of an adult accepting her sexuality. Iris was always attracted to girls, but the pressure of compulsive heterosexuality got to her because she needed to be her mom's perfect daughter.

Once I started, I couldn't put it down.
