    Tender little story with big personality and intimate conversations about dealing with identity. Great read!

    Sweet story. I love how the characters feel human. The part where it's revealed the swans are both girls, *chef's kiss.*

    I really enjoyed this story! Ellie and Violet show all sides of relationships. The hard stuff and the light/humorous part.
