Relatable, engaging, and thought provoking, and I always love a story about redemption and reconciliation. I really liked both main characters and their tension and pursuit, and character growth, and Vee was a great secondary character.


The story highlights the consequences of not grasping your worth as a woman, and living in an environment of shame and regret that just gets compounded by that. It tied in well with the concept of sexual assault and how so many women blame themselves or excuse it. It’s not a pretty or easy subject but I thought it was done tastefully and sensitively, and well worth being told.

There were a number of little weird flow or plot gaps I kept getting stuck at - someone was in one location and then all of the sudden docking a boat somewhere else the next sentence, standing and then all of the sudden from sitting position, etc, without fleshing out the transitions. Not a big deal but it made me have to read over a few sections to try to follow or see if I missed something. That’s really the only reason I dropped a star. Loved the story itself.
