This book punched me right in the feels and did not give up.
Apparently I was looking for a hurt/comfort ear read…I got what I was looking for.
Dislike to love
Queer Awakening
Partner of a no longer alive sibling (…very off-limits)
JESUS after a string of happy books, I picked this?!
The tearing up started at the 1hr mark and had me on the verge of sobbing the WHOLE thing. It was tremendously embarrassing at the gym. I was the girl hobbling on the treadmill or pushing herself on the exercise bike while holding back emotional sobs, not the ones of exertion the gym welcomes.
So SO much hurt and comfort.
I’m not even sure I can articulate my emotions. I loved the love so hard, and my heart broke at the hurt.
