4.5 stars. First of all, why is it that no one ever mentions this book when talking about the series??? This was so good and better than the last one by far. I think this is my first time reading friends to lovers to strangers then back to lovers. It was like friends to lovers/second chance wrapped into one. I read this in less than 24 hours because the chapters and the book itself is pretty short but I was hooked the entire time.
 Logan and Alyssa are two damaged people who have had very difficult lives. The only difference between them really is that her and her family are financially well off but he isn't. You can feel the connection they have and how they were so desperate to cling on to one another but at the same time it was toxic. Logan's demons were worse than hers. I still felt bad for him though. I felt for Alyssa as well. The only thing I didn't like was that I felt like Alyssa was pretty much begging him to be with her at times.  I loved that they got their happy ending though. Overall this was really emotional and pulled at my heartstrings.

“for always, high?” “for always, lo.” 

this book tugs at my heart strings. i went into this book blind, based on a singular quote i saw on instagram. and while it was not what i expected at all, it was amazing nonetheless. there is such beauty between alyssa and logan that i adore. seeing how much both of them have been through and how they found their best in one another was beautiful. everything that happened in logan’s life was so painful to read about, i felt as if his pain was my own. i love how this book shows the lowest lows and the highest highs (wink wink). nothing is sugar coated and it was truly eye opening to read.

~~ check trigger warnings before reading !!

💫 best friends to lovers
