"A beautiful story about healing through trauma, and finding love again (both within yourself and another) after a toxic relationship." -Melissa Karibian, author of A Song of Silver and Gold.This can't work out. It won't end well. But what if it does?When Ava meets Parker in an LGBT therapy group, she's hesitant to get close to someone new. Ava's traumatic past with relationships, and her inability to fully embrace her asexuality has made it hard for her to connect with anyone. But when she starts seeing Parker everywhere, she finds it hard to ignore how familiar Parker is, and how at peace Parker's presence in her life makes her feel.Parker is less than a year out of a toxic relationship when she starts seeing Ava all over town. At the gym where she works, at the coffee shop she frequents, and then at the LGBT therapy group she decides to attend on a whim. She takes this as a sign from the universe, but is shocked to find that Ava doesn't believe in fate, and none of the charm and charisma that has worked before will quite cut it this time.As the two grow closer, they both have to decide if holding onto the things their exes taught them are also holding them back from their future.Content warnings:Discussions of traumaDiscussions of domestic violenceAlcoholismRepresentation:Own voicesAsexual main characterLesbianBisexual side character"This book was so amazing! The characters are realistically flawed, as well is their journey through trauma healing, which really hit." -Goodreads Review"This book definitely grew on me; it's well written; the characters have depth and painful pasts and while watching them struggle to work through things was a little heartbreaking at times, and I will admit I teared up a bit at one point. Overall it was a really cute story." -Goodreads Review"A beautiful romance novel about love, sexuality and healing trauma... I couldn't stop highlighting this book, every other line was funny, relatable, sad. It made it all feel so real like I was with them." -Goodreads Review"I particularly loved the asexual representation in this book. It's still so rare to see and it has been written so well - asexuality is a spectrum and I love how that is explored here." -Goodreads Review"This book has such a cute romance, but ah this made my heart ache in many ways." -Goodreads Review
