This book. 💜 I really don't feel like my review can do any justice. I don't even know how to describe the experience of reading this except to say I am so in love. I loved this story and I felt all the pain and all the joy and all the feelings in between. I thought I had read this before but I realized I had not. I thought I knew what this book was about but I did not. 

Aside from this book being on my TBR list for awhile now, part of why I read it this month is because I wanted to read Aquarius authors during Aquarius season. What a fine example of Queer Romance, as well as the Aquarian exploration of all kinds of relationships - including the relationship with God that morphs and changes as a person learns about the world and themselves.
