Wow this book was amazing. I spent half the book wanting to murder Trenton and the other half crying lowkey. Part of what I loved about this book is yes it’s a romance, but more than that it’s a story of self discovery, personal growth, self love, acceptance, grief, loss, how to heal a relationship that you think is irreparably broken. It’s a book about the way that heartache and joy coexist in life. It was so well written and the story that Hayley weaves is so intricate and raw and real. I highly recommend this book.
