I really wanted to love this one more than I did. I think it was well written and very interesting, it held my attention through to the end, but it just didn't do all I wanted it to.
I was sort of surprised to see how much of a role religion played into the story. I have a fair amount of religious trauma, so it was making me a little uncomfortable although I understood it did have a significant role to play within the story and within the characters themselves. That's why I didn't love it the way I wanted to.
I did love being able to closely follow both of the main characters! It was interesting to see how they each interpreted their interactions. And the romance was so good! The slow burn was really damn slow but I loved seeing each of their realizations. Very cute.
All in all, still LOVE Allison Saft and her writing! I look forward to her future books!
