Finding your soulmate is like winning the lottery. They're rare and precious and lead to riding off into the sunset for a picture-perfect happily-ever-after (if you believe the movies). They're not supposed to be your high school English teacher or carry the kind of baggage that can tear you both apart. It's not supposed to be this hard. Themes Coming of age, slow burn romance, age difference, healthy coping mechanisms, angst, awesome friends, supportive family. Warnings Abandonment issues, past trauma/kidnapping, strong language, brief violence, and eventual explicit sexual situations.
