This is a book that has no major action but loveable characters. Vanni is a small town girl who believes is stuck in the small town. In fact, she believes there are only three ways were people in this townland and all return to home, except for one that ran as far as way as possible. Vanni is dealing with a lot, thinking that she is going nowhere in her poor condition and dealing with her father's Hunting's disease that Vanno may or may not have. And then she meets Lucus and Leigh. Beautiful butch Leigh. Vanni falls for the 17-year-old and then she left to come to terms with her sexuality. Is she a; lesbian or is she bi? What about the guys she liked in the past? But what about the guy she has no connection to but has sex with? But she can't shake Leigh and so she and she eventually connect in a more than friendly way. But Leigh wants to leave this small town. She moved under no choice and when she is 18 she is out of there with a plan to hop on a plane to Boston, where her Mom is. Not stepmom and father who just don't seem to get it.
What I liked about the book was the development of the characters. Vanni comes to slow to her sexuality slowly and it is not just an oh I dated a girl I must be lesbian. No instead it gave the option of a bi girl chance o emerge. And as Leigh puts it if you like guys and girls it is not impossible to be bisexual. Now, I am not trashing books featuring a woman finding out that she is a lesbian after she had dated guys, it is just a nice change of reading for a bit. Vanni apathy is very memorable about her life future.
Overall I liked the character development and how it was the focus of thsi book so thinking twice if you want an action-packed book. It is raw, emotional, blunt, and room for discovery.
