What a beautiful debut novel! I was sucked in so quick by the author’s beautiful story telling. This story follows the lives of Aurora, her gran, and mom and their soap opera, tv dinners, and non-conventional lifestyle in a small town in Indiana. There’s friendship, young love, found family, scandal, a beautiful grandma/granddaughter relationship, and emotion! 

I don’t read a lot of contemporary fiction, but I will 100% read anything the author puts out in the future!
