Meeting Millie

I don't think I liked the writing... Style? Voice? Still going to give some of her other stuff a try though.

I wanted to love this book so much but I just am not connecting with the characters at all. I don't know what went down between the characters that pushed them apart for TEN YEARS but I can guess

This is more of a 2.5 star book for me, really.

I had really high expectations of this books because in some ways it was a second chance romance by way of coming of age. I loved a lot of aspects of this book, but it took some time for things to happen and I wanted to fast forward some of the sections in between.

I think this is a really really decently book, but I found the pacing a bit lacking. I felt like more could've happened in the course of the book.

It was an okay read though. It was a fine queer coming of age novel. I loved that it brings up some of the messier aspects of coming out at a later age, discovering your sexuality and coming to terms with it.
