I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book and I’m so glad I did - I’m obsessed! This book broke my heart in many unexpected ways (
THAT ENDING OMG
), made me giddy and blush, and helped me not feel so alone in my complicated mother/daughter relationship. It was fun, sexy, inspiring, and jarring in the absolute best ways. I promise, you have NEVER read something like this before!
