"Tate" he says. He's facing his door, and he doesn't turn around to finish his sentence. "Sometimes a man's spirit just ain't strong enough to withstand the ghost from his past." He opens the apartment door and walks inside. "Maybe that boy just lost his spirit somewhere along the way" He closes his door and leaves me attempt to decipher even more confusion.

Moment when he leaves.
Because he always leave.

"I don't want to swim anymore," He says, sliding his lips from the base of my throat all the way up to my mouth again. "Well, then, what do you want to do?" I whisper weekly. "You" he says without hesitation "In my shower. From behind" I swallow a huge lump of air and feel it all the way to the pit of my stomach. "Wow. That's very specific."
"And also in my bed" he whispersed. "With you on top, still soaking wet from the shower." I inhale sharply, and we can both hear the tremble of my breath I exhale
"Okay," I tried to say,but his mouth is on mine before the word is even all the way out.

"Listen,Tate," I tell her. "I want your mess. I want your clothes in my bedroom floor. I want your toothbrush in my bathroom. I want your shoes in my closet. I want your mediocre leftovers in my fridge." She laughs at that. "Oh, and I almost forgot," I say, pulling the other box for my pocket. I hold it up between us and open it, revealing the ring. "I also want you in my future.Forever."

 < spoiler> Lots of unnecessary sex <spoilers>
I felt bored reading the book, it didn’t grab my attention. Nor was I a fan of Tate being emotionally used by Miles. There was no growth between the two characters. The growth didn’t happen throughout the story either.

All have to say about this is that it is one of the biggest red flags of the year. Terrible book boyfriend with crappy characters. I hated them both. Definitely not my favorite.

I really really loved miles development but I really really hated the old Miles. I understand why he was as shitty cause of the twist but I feel like it's not much of an excuse. I also kind of guessed the twist just missed 2 parts on it. But I loved that ending. Which is my reason to give it 3.75 stars.

To whoever reads this book, please do NOT ever let anyome treat you like this. This is the second CoHo book I've read and I'm getting really sick of her romanticizing toxic relationships.

What I liked:
🛩️ Cap made this book
🛩️ Fast-paced
🛩️ Family drama / decent backstory for Miles

What I didn't like:
🔻 Miles treats Tate like a doormat
🔻Tate bends to Miles' will 
🔻Mike's has a good backstory but NO personality
🔻THE ENDING 😡 like after all that, why?!
🔻Writing style (a good portion of this book is written like poetry, it's very random)
🔻"Say ox" 🤢 and how many times CoHo used the word liquid
