When I started this, I wasn't giving with it - honestly I'm too old for stories about how great college is and I'm not a huge fan of typical coming out stories. So really wasn't enjoying the start.

But once Immy returned home, and started interacting with Gretchen in person, that's when it kinda flipped and I couldn't put it down.

I've definitely met people like
Gretchen - who gatekeep and question others "authenticity" and I'm glad none of my friends were like that when I came out.
 

Overall, this was a sweet story and I'm glad I gave it a chance.
