Trauma porn. I could handle the first terrible thing but I draw the line at quasi-incestuous rape of a minor.

not bad overall, the story is just not my thing. i am starting to realize i just don't like contemporary settings with no fantastical or magical realism elements. also, extremely peeved that yerba buena was mentioned/alluded to all the time, it made it feel too much like the author was yelling HEY DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE HAHAHA

yeah not for me lol

Read the book in a day in a mix of audiobook and physical. Overall a story of two women finding their place in the world and what they want to do with their life. 

I liked that the romance was not the main story in the book. I liked both of the women individually, their romance was okay, and I also liked the side characters. 

Overall well written book.
