*Thank you to Netgalley, Blackstone Publishing, and libro.fm ALC for copies in exchange for an honest review*

LOL so at first I had just an arc through Netgalley, then Kalie Holford reached out to me to see if I wanted a physical arc (YES), and THEN I saw libro.fm had this in their April ALCs, and I grabbed it because I’ve been in the mood for audiobooks recently. I sort of did a tandem read going between the audio and ebook or physical book. 

But anyway…THIS WAS EVERYTHING I WAS HOPING FORRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! 

When I first heard the news that this book was being released, I KNEW I had to follow along to know when it was being released. And oh man I’m SO glad I did. This was a 5 star read. I loved everything in it. I loved everything about it. I loved the characters. I loved the plot. I loved the sapphic representation. I loved the music aspect. I loved evERYTHING. 

Oh my god. PLEASE this is amazing and everyone should read 
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced
