It took a bit to get used to her style, however, I am immersed in her characters. I know it’s not going to have a happy ending and there are so many triggers. I started this for Pride Month, but at this rate I may still be reading it for banned books week in October.

BTW, I enjoyed Greenwich Park Have a great week all!
