This is the first time I have read anything from this author, but it won't be my last. It says something that I started and finished the book in one sitting. As in, I couldn't stop reading because I needed to know how (not if; this is a romance, after all!) it happened. How the undeniable generational trauma resolved itself, how 2 such clearly human humans were going to push through their issues, and how love would ultimately win the day. All of those questions were answered, and I was over the moon at the humanity on display. Such a great story, full stop.
