Oh how I adored this book! Two young women trapped by their circumstances, scared to try or hope for “more,” who are thrust together by the universe or magic or whatever you might want to call it so that they both might discover what it means to truly live, and to truly love - not just another, but oneself.

Rachael did an excellent job writing Lucy and Audrey with their unique characterizations and language fitting for each of their times. She captured both of their personalities wonderfully and while they are both so different from the outside looking in, the more those layers get peeled back, the more alike they seem to be.

AND OH THE PINING!! This book is filled with good old fashioned sapphic pining, and so many “will they won’t they” scenes that I found myself shouting, “Just kiss her!!” numerous times throughout. Good thing I wasn’t reading this in public!
