Oh this was so lovely, I absolutely adored this coming-of-age and coming out story! It started off a bit slow, but I’m so glad I stuck with it. The emotional complexity and resolution was done so tenderly. I loved the perspective of coming from a strict immigrant family - it was done so well and truly depicted the way those high expectations can crush your sense of self. These characters felt so real, and I’m proud of Grace and all the ways she grows by the end.
Also this lowkey made me nostalgic for my college days?? 😭
