This story is highly recommended! It is now my fav

this story is now one of my favorite stories I've ever heard in my life. I listened to it on Audible as a podcast but I would love to go get the physical book and take notes. The music is amazing and Michelle is just awesome. I relate and every single thing she says and does because I'm not same as Italian girl who is a hopeless romantic and believes in monogamy and I'm also 39 years old so this really helped me@
