Such a touching and sad story,yet at the same time, romantic and laugh out loud funny.

This book had me feeling all the feelings, something of an emotional roller coaster.

This book is primarily character driven, and whilst a high stakes immersive plot takes a back seat to what I usually go for, this novel did not disappoint. I was so invested in Johnny  and Shannon's (like the river) story, I literally could not put it down.  

Just a word of warning to read the trigger warnings as emotional resilience is required and a note that the story ends on a cliffhanger.
