Sherrell, thank you so much for this beautiful review! Your review truly made me smile. Knowing that you felt like you were experiencing the story alongside Marcus—and that his journey navigating the church and his sexuality resonated with you—means more than I can say.
When you said you were curled up on the couch laughing, talking back to Marcus, and wishing you could join one of those family meals, I laughed out loud! My chosen family was a bunch of hot-mess humans—LOL—but they were exceptional people. Those moments of love, laughter, and family are the heart of this story, and I wanted readers to understand why they meant so much to me.
Thank you for rooting for Marcus, falling in love with his chosen family, and recommending the book. Reviews like yours remind me why I needed to tell this story. I’m incredibly grateful that you took the time to read it and share such a heartfelt response.
