I am over the moon at what this story did. I was able to see myself on the page so clearly and in so many ways for the first time. And despite the VERY sensitive topics being addressed, it was very nice to see our main characters' actively working to break the cycle of abuse, deal with their respective traumas, and become healthy for each other. And there was a plethora of advice given throughout that was clearly not just meant for the characters, but was done in a well-placed and non-lecture-y manner.

It was nice to see such well-integrated stories surrounding asexuality and belonging, asexual-allosexual relationships, relationship trauma, codependency, deafness and sign language, mental health, and positive body image.

 However, there were several punctuation mistakes that may bother some readers.
