changing my rating of this book in light of the amazing Cait's amazing review. you can read that here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1444235181?book_show_action=false

i regret not recognizing problematic aspects of this book while reading it, and am grateful that this community allows for me to read the thoughts of others who know more and in turn educate myself.

also, the romance in this book isn't even good.
