Thank god for a happy ending. After the first one, I needed the second one to be a little lighter.

I really liked the way both books were written, as if Tess was being the journalist she is and wrote their love story.

Everything really came full circle, and ask questions were answered. There wasn’t as much going on with this second book, more like just getting the happy ending everyone had hoped for.

I convinced myself to read the second book because I needed to see Tess and Katy’s happy ending, but it wasn’t quite as good as the first book.

These two were so unexpected and I’m glad I decided to pick these up, their love story was worth it.

I was expecting a light-hearted coming of age book set in the 90s…. not to get my heart ripped out of my chest. This book is such a hidden gem. I’m pretty sure I felt every emotion possible.

This book shows the reality of life in a small religious town where families are torn apart simply because of someone loving who they love.

Tess and Katy’s love story was so beautiful. Their relationship was so raw, so real, and so pure. Huge props to the author for creating a love that felt so real between two young girls figuring themselves out. I was so proud of Tess every chapter, she fought and fought and didn’t let anyone tell her who she was.

Life isn’t a work of fiction, and reality does come crashing down.
