Queer women can‘t have joy, that‘s my take away. Closeted women experiencing hate &homophobia. This book was written by a straight woman (as far as I know) for cishet people so they can say they understand the potential fear of coming out. As far as romances go, this one sucks. “It‘s women‘s fiction” ITS NOTHING BUT WOMEN BEING SCARED & HURT FOR 400 PAGES BUT OPE A HEA SO ITS FINE! This book left a horrible taste in my mouth. I think it‘s vomit.
