Emotional resonance, totally. I wish I had gotten that point across in my review! I hope people do read this one. It was one of those books where I found myself anxious to get back to it when I wasn't reading, not because I was on pins and needles about the plot or anything, but because I enjoyed spending time with the characters.

I need to get out of the habit of going straight from reading a review to putting a library hold because then my hold queue gets filled up and I never make progress on my TBR list. Grr.

The characters are still dealing with issues (grief, sexuality), but it's done in such an uplifting way. Dani, refreshing is the perfect word for this book!
