Man I loved this book so much. It's hard for me to find f/f adult books that are good and not only a straight man's wet dream. This was very clearly written by a queer woman. I also loved how you could tell that she had experience with the foster care system.
Other things I really loved about this book:
-Woman of color main character!!! Val is Puerto Rican and she mentions lots of little customs to do with her culture.
-So many lesbians omg. A book where the queer characters actually have queer friends? Yes! Irl us queers stick together and for some reasons authors tend to forget that.
-The story revolves around children and the foster system.
I loved that there was children in this book. I feel like they always add so much character to adult books and it truly made me love this book.
There's only a couple things that I wish we would have gotten more information about:
-Val's brother. I wish we could have found out if she ever found him and what ever became of him.
-What caused Val's recurring nightmares. The other kind of glossed over that.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and I hope all the queer girls out there looking for a cute romantic read picks it up!!
TRIGGER WARNINGS: Suicide mention, Rape mention, Drug Abuse mention
