Shine by Lauren Myracle

I lucked into finding Lauren Myrcale’s Shine well before its release date. I’d added it to my goodreads ages before because I thought the cover was pretty and because I was glad the book was going to tackle its premise. But then I forgot I bought it until I was cleaning out my old car…
