This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, I went from smiling to crying. Despite being part of the 'insta love' trope the book develops in to so much more than that and the connection between the characters is so believable. The book moves so quickly and I love that we get to see Auburn's and Owen's POV's as we really get to get in to the characters feelings and emotions. It's my first COHO book and I can't wait to read more from her. A truly amazing and heart wrenching book would definitely recommend but please read trigger warnings before hand.

This book was so, so good. It pulled at my heart strings and made me feel so much for the main characters, especially Auburn. I wasn't bored a moment of listening to this, and needed to know what was happening as soon as possible. It was hard to put down. 

I will say though, that as someone who has been in a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship before, it was triggering at parts. It wasn’t very graphic, but the abusive character (i won’t say the name bc spoilers) was written SO realistically, it made me feel genuinely sick at a couple points. I really did feel Auburn’s helplessness. 

If you’re looking for a sad romance with a good ending, this is it.
