Review: Journey?

I looked back at the synopsis of this book and didn't find that it was a book about a girl's journey into same-sex relationships. That would not have made a difference in whether I read the book, but I started reading with a different idea. I mistakenly assumed that BrookLyn's journey was one leading out of her home where abuse reigned. It was that, but also a journey TO a relationship with another female. Because she had been so sheltered, I kept thinking that BrookLyn would be allowed more experiences to expand her horizons -- if the characterization of her home life was true to form -- because she'd had no relationships with peers. It was a little too plotted out for me, with everything being hunky dory at the end after only a period of several months. I might read another story by Coffey Brown, but I'd delve further into the plot of said novel first.
