liked it

this is in no way a bad review, im just traumatized at the moment. and i feel like some plot points were unnecessary.

y’all please do not take the trigger warning page at the beginning of this book lightly. i won’t spoil it but it ain’t all hearts and butterflies.

i feel like i’ve been hit by a train and thrown in a dumpster fire. this was going good and strong in the first 80% and then shit hit the wagon and now i’m curled up on the floor sobbing 😭

this book was addictive, i read it so fast. my eyes hurt from reading this in one sitting.

i’m not joking when i say most of this book is just feel good moments and just the characters living life until we get to the last 20%

if i weren’t so invested in these characters i wouldn’t go on to book two but i’m crumbling. this book is good, it’s slow and kinda repetitive and doesn’t really have a plot until the very end but i think it’s worth it IF you can handle the subject matter.

Deniz Temel was waiting for your comment. Now i am debating to read it.


Dana On point


Christy Brady I just finished. It's 2am and I'm a mess. Snotty. Bawling. Holy crap I just downloaded the book cause the cover was pretty!!! What just happened??


Kassady Wright I feel the exact same way!! Absolutely devastated.


Hannah Casciole This review was spot on


Summer (speaking_bookish) The only thing I’m worried about is the cancer trigger. I’ve had cancer and don’t mind reading about it if it’s just generalized but if it gets into symptoms and stuff like that I’m not up for it. So far the bit in the beginning about her dad (first couple pages of the book) was fine. Maybe someone can give me a hint about whether I should continue with this one.. thanks!

The cancer isn't a huge, in depth plot point. It's mentioned but not delved into thoroughly. I hope that helps, please let me know if I was off base! I would hate to steer you wrong!


Michelle This is the best review!! I FELT this book to my core! It stirred feelings in me! I cried and loved with these characters!!


allison✨ I kept waiting for a bad part. Then the bad part came. Then I didn’t want the bad part anymore.

Kaci I just finished and I’m traumatized too. Idk how I missed the TW page. This book was not even a little bit what I expected and I have no idea how I feel about it but that ending makes me want book two


CristalLisa I felt the same way ! Knocked a star off just because … just why !??! 😭


Allyreads_pharmd Just wrote my review and knocked off one star as well. Agree whole heartedly. Unnecessary


Kayla Gonzalez Your review summed up how I felt about this book!


Ashley ✨ I started this book earlier this year and was hooked while on our honeymoon, but then dropped it about half way when we got back. Picked it back up today and finished… completely shocked at the ending as I forgot about the trigger warning at the beginning.


Daeja I couldn’t agree more with the feeling of being hit with a train then thrown in a dumpster fire at 80% I felt bamboozled. I had to pause for a second and gather my jaw from the floor


TabbyGirl I was sobbing, I don’t know why that had to get thrown in there 😭
