Started reading and couldn't put it down. Absolutely loved this book. It reminds the reader again of how difficult it is to come out---especially when you're a teenager. So much is always expected of you. This tells of how a child can hate the foster system but has no where else to turn. Britton really just wanted a family--someone to love her. She knew she was a lesbian from her early years but didn't tell the world because she figured the world already hated her so why add additional fuel to the fire? Avery was the one person who could make her think differently but would that ever come to fruition? Both young women were just trying to get through high school. They sure didn't plan on things working out the way they did. I could feel "all the feels" that they had. Story was so well written that I lived their feelings. It was very sweet to see them learn to navigate the world. Their friends helped enormously and I really liked the foster family, Cate and Tom and of course, Avery. Loved them all. The epilogue solved my worry about Spence and whether she could find her "someone". Even if you are not usually drawn to young adult stories, I highly recommend this one. It is such an amazing read. It has everything--love, friends, coming out, grief, acceptance, relationships and did I mention love!!! This author is so darn good that I will automatically read everything she writes. Thank you so much for sharing this story with the rest of us, Kristen Zimmer.
