Wow, this was an amazing book and really resonated with me because of what I am currently going through. I can deeply relate to Avery and her journey with endometriosis, as this is something I have struggled with. I am also currently struggling with it again, and contemplating another surgery due to symptoms and quality of life. I teared up a few times with this book because Avery provided me much needed representation, and I love that Sydney Wilder created this character and her journey. Devin was just such a sweetheart and gives hope to those who feel broken and like no one will see them and love them. His own journey hurt my heart but his redemption was so wonderful and just shows you can't judge a book by its cover and the best kinds of people are the ones you least expect. The elements of table top gaming were so spot on too, and made the book even more fun and meaningful. I also felt like Sydney Wilder handled the religious trauma depths and heaviness really well and I loved Avery's journey of self-discovery within this realm. This book was fun and lighthearted at times but also so impactful and important. I truly loved this book so much and highly recommend it!
