Thank you Simon teen for an arc in exchange for an honest review!
Perfect for anyone who loved the movie The Vow, but make it sapphic and with young adults.
Imagine living in a small conservative town, hiding a secret relationship with the girl of your dreams for two year, then with the help of a freak accident forgetting it all. Stevie forgets the past two years of her life and has a clean slate after falling into a ravine during a secret rendezvous with her girlfriend Nora.
With a clean slate what will the people Stevie thinks she is closest to most in her life do? And more importantly what will Nora do now that the love of her life doesn’t even know who she is.
Alyson Derrick masterfully weaves a story of love, figuring out your sexuality, realizing your parents are human and seizing what you want most in this world.
