This book gave me all the feels! I loved the relationship between Aisling and Maya and was rooting so hard for them to get together. The way their story is so real, especially for children of religiously abusive parents. The expression of trauma and grief and how it shows up in even the most wonderful of relationships if you don't take the time to heal was absolutely gorgeous. While not everything was handled the way I wish it would <spoiler >getting absolutely wasted in front of someone that has experienced abuse from an alcoholic is an awful thing for a person to do, partner or otherwise>/spoiler >

 I did thoroughly enjoy this book, I would have absolutely rated it higher if it was properly handled. I will absolutely be looking forward to more from Clementine Taylor!!
