✨this book✨ okay, first things first, I absolutely loved the narration. Our main character is an Irish woman who we never learn the name of, very in the fashion of Rebecca. I love that for some reason. I know this person so well, yet I don't know her name.

The amount of trauma our MC has is MASSIVE, and somehow Hazel Hayes manages to write such a relatable character.

The MC's bff Maya is literally my favorite and I love to see a bisexual mc who has a female best friend and at no point does that relationship turn sexual. I am obsessed!

I wouldn't call this a love story. Is more like a self discovery of oneself journey.

LESSONS LEARNED:

- A relationship might not work out in the end but that doesn't mean you should forget or ignore all the good parts. Pain is a side effect of love.

- Therapy is always a good idea. For everyone. Regardless of the amount of trauma you've endured. We all have some.

- 3rd slide. Literally every word on the page regarding children and wanting to become a parent.

- There's no such thing as a perfect mom/dad. They are also human. However, that doesn't mean you have to tolerate abuse from them. Stay safe out there.

notes
- I love Hazel Hayes, the prologue and acknowledgements are somehow some of my favorite parts of this book.

-I AM NOT A BANANA

-I have my Lena, I just need to find my Maya.
