This was a sweet story about love and acceptance. I really enjoyed the listen. The dual narrators both had such nice voice and kept me entertained. Their accents were slightly different which was refreshing and made them sound like two very distinct voices. The story was easy to get lost in.
I have been given an arc of this title from St. Martin's Griffin in exchange for an honest review.
