Oh my gosh - this is MUCH better than I thought it was going to be.

I love the depth of the characters. I love how they aren’t completely black-and-white and they continued to surprise me. I loved Nora and Iris and Wes and Lee so much! I cared about what happened to them. On the other side, the mother, step-father, and Wes’ father were characters I also cared what happened to them, but not in the same way.

The story kicks off strong and doesn’t take long for you to get completely invested. I don’t think I’ve read anything like this before, and I love it’s uniqueness.

I thought the writing was well done. The complexity of identity and relationships was explored and very well-put.

I’ll be looking into more of Tess Sharpe’s work because I want more.
