You know those gauzy, romantic indie movie flashbacks of the dead wife? This book has those vibes, only the wife is alive and they're gay.

🌿 sapphic
🌿 autistic
🌿 set in Appalachia
🌿 Not Like Other Girls x Manic Pixie Dream Girl (but with examinations of both these tropes)

Sixteen years ago a woman traded a child for information that would save a kingdom.
Now that daughter, who the world thinks is dead, has to find her soulmate and convince him to help break the curse on her--if the vine growing from her body doesn't kill her first.
