3.0

The first half would be five stars because Cam is hot but then
he baby tortoised trapped her and doesn’t wear underwear
so that’s like minus 2 stars.

Oh and the second half was also frustrating but I think Avery is a frustrating character by design.

“He said something like things can’t be that bad if the sun is out and shining. Like I said, that stuck with me. Maybe because it’s the truth. As long as the sun is shining, sh*t can’t be that bad.”

I fell in love with Cam from jump. HE HAD A PET TORTOISE NAMED RAPHAEL Y’ALL!!! 🥹 I’m legit trying to do the math & figure out if I can safely get a pet tortoise or will my 3yo terrorize it. 😅

But fr, I am shook that I never see this book on booksta! Fun story: My sister and I were in target one day last year & I kept going back to this book mainly because of the cover. I didn’t end up buying it so she got it for me for Christmas!

I loved it so much. It could easily be binged in a day but once I met Cam, I had to slow down. He was too adorable and I wasn’t ready for story to be over. And Avery 😭. My heart broke for her. She was really let down by everyone around her. But I was so proud of her growth!

Read if you enjoy:
💙 slow burn
💙 college setting
💙 friends to lovers
💙 found family

**please check content warnings before going into this one, but I highly recommend it.

The topic of how we discuss the trauma of past SA has definitely evolved since this book. While the love story was sweet and lovely, I couldn’t enjoy it because of how poorly the SA was handled in this book, and how it was constantly clobbered over our head. Not that it isn’t an important thing to talk about but I was constantly on edge because it was brought up so often. The SA topic was handled in a jarring and blunt manner. From the description of the act, too many details brought up again and again of how cruelly victims are treated, etc. I found it really triggering and I don’t suggest this book for other SA survivors

I refuse to say the fact it was SA is a spoiler. It’s in front of our faces from almost the very beginning that the FMC was SAed in some way and that everyone in her life acted cruelly.

Nebylo to špatný, hlavní hrdinka umí bejt vtipná... A moc se mi líbí jak se popasovala s traumatem. A vůbec jak ta knížka otevírá toto trauma jako téma.. ale jinak nic moc. Rozhodně jsem četla lepší z tohoto žanru.
