Excellent read—Wes's character in particular frequently had me chuckle or even full belly laugh in response to their quips. A wonderful story of finding yourself, your truth, and learning to come to terms with the end of friendships that no longer suit you amongst new ones that do. 

As far as the content warning (sexual assault) goes: it was difficult and graphic at times. I occasionally felt really sensitive to the details used and they did have physically adverse effects for me. But it never felt like a trope or done for shock factor, all details and flashbacks felt authentic to Sav's experiences.
