4.75. The only bad thing I have to say is that I wanted more. (view spoiler)[ Was happy to read a lesbian romance that didn't end in tragedy. I wanted an epilogue with their wedding or something. (hide spoiler)] So far my favourite lesbian book. I also adored Matthew. 
 (view spoiler)[ Some may complain about the darker twist this book turned but I think it's unfair to assume something very real would be lighthearted. Sexual abuse is a very real thing that happens at these sorts of places so I can't see a reason to think of it as a negative (hide spoiler)] 
 At points I got really emotional because it was so sad that these kids felt the needed to change and that they were made to feel ashamed of who they are (view spoiler)[ Daniel especially, it made me so sad he felt this way about himself. While the ending didn't feel completely resolved I realise that you can't just stop something like this and the thought that those kids are going to enter unwanted hetero relationships or the ones already in ones made me so sad. I don't know if this was the author's intention but it was definitely a thought that didn't escape my mind (hide spoiler)] 
 If I were to recommend a lesbian romance I'd go with this one
