A very, VERY emotional read, that was both heavy and light. This book flew by like a breeze - the characters had me laughing out loud, and the romance was so sweet, but the situations both main characters were dealing with were heavy. What a great representation of mental health, trauma in life, becoming an adult, life not always being fair, and working to heal. Ah, Abby Jimenez is just incredible. Very much recommend, but be prepared for a read that will sit with you, a little heavy on your heart and soul. And check trigger warnings, please!
