Nicola Dinan has way of writing the human condition that is so relatable. She puts emotions and experiences into words that connect with the reader, even if you haven't experienced what her characters have.
I read the bulk of this book in 2 days, and highlighted so many passages that resonated. It makes me want to re-read her first book which didn't click with me as much.
All of the characters here are messy with rough edges. And there's a lot of love and care in these pages. I felt like I was in the room, balancing the universal tension of who we were vs. who we are and who we will we become. I also struggle with learning to love and be loved without knowing the outcome (and after some pretty traumatic shit).
