GOD this so satisfied my craving for a book like Alone With You In The Ether by Olivie Blake. There were only two things I wished:
1) That we saw more of Marianne’s family.
2) That Lorraine’s character was a little more,,,mom-like. It felt weird to me that Connell called her by her name, and also that she treated him more like an older sister at times. That could be due to the smaller age gap, since she had him so young, but it still put me off a little bit.
