this was a hard read for me, but I really loved it. to see river be able to escape from the demons that surrounded her and be able to build a beautiful life for herself was inspiring to see. especially since we can't legally have the same type of justice in real life. 

I will say that I absolutely hated the immediate proposal and pregnancy trope at the end - it's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
