Another one down. This was so funny and sweet. Eve was very hurt by her parents choice to get divorced after learning of her father’s infertility. As a senior in HS ages dealing with a lot and has to learn how to navigation hurt, healing, love, loss/grief and learning how to open yourself up to new possibilities. I appreciated the topic of grief especially because Evie’s feelings mirror some of the feelings I still have today as an adult. This was beautiful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
