I knew this was going to break my soul, so I don't know why I'm surprised at how much I'm crying right now.
I can't believe that I finished this in one night, I honestly did not see the time go by as I was reading it. It's an ungodly late hour and I need to wake up early for work soon, but I don't even care. This book was amazing and there was absolutely no chance that I was going to put it down, even for a second.
I relate so much to Stevie. I mean I've never been in a serious accident that gave me long-term amnesia. But I felt all her pain and anger towards discovering your queerness and knowing that the people around you, the ones that should love you the most, betray you every single day by making you feel wrong for the way you are. It was heartbreaking to read, but also quite cathartic.
And of course, the love between Stevie and Nora... what I wouldn't give for a love like that. To be so cherished and adored, for someone to sacrifice so much for you and put themselves through so much pain for your sake. It was so devastatingly beautiful.
I wholeheartedly recommend this, with a fair warning that it will make you cry, but that it will undoubtedly be worth every single tear.
Thank you so much Simon & Schuster for an advance reader copy of this novel! I am leaving this review voluntarily.
