This book broke me at the end. I cried so much I couldn’t believe what happened. It’s not a want it’s a need to read the second book.

Potential Spoilers!!!

Please read your trigger warning for this book because there is heavy focus on mental health and self harm

Wynn gets sent into an institution after she tried to unalive herself.
She realized quickly that this isn’t a normal rehab center especially when she finds out her roommate is a man. The male nurse from the hospital.

Liam wasn’t a nurse after all, he just happened to be staying at the same ER at the time and heard people talking about her and had to see Wynn for himself.

Wynn and Liam start to fall for each other and help each other over come their inner darkness.

This book was ok. It was funny, had thriller/mystery and some romance. BUT there was too much focus on the mental health and it left gaps in the book that left me wanting more.

I wouldn’t have minded if there was more detail on Liam and his mom’s relationship and the texts she sends him.

They didn’t clarify who the fort belonged to. You can assume, but doesn’t mean we’re right lol

I also didn’t like that Wynn (FMC) knew her friend, Langston, was in love with her and she kinda strung along.
But he was just kinda out in there as well. I know that’s Liam’s best friend but in the book you think it may turn into a why choose but then she says she loves him as a friend.

The writing was incredibly repetitive and made the conversations between the FMC and MMC seem very juvenile. Not just that, but the descriptions were very basic, I think the FMC’s “pale pink hair” was mentioned once every chapter, please trust that the reader can remember she had pink hair.

The ending was incredibly cliche yet unrealistic at the same time. I mean really.

we are beat over the head with the fact that the FMC has a heart condition and then she gets shot directly in the chest at close range but survives because another character gets shot, is instantly paralyzed, lands on top of her and slows the bleeding? Give me a break.

dark emotional mysterious sad slow-paced

4.25

Felt like the last 30% of the book was rushed and there could have been more exposition to the thriller part of the plot versus the romance.  The Lanston/Wynn connection felt forced. Wanted more why choose vibes between the three than what was done in the book
