Tropes:
Strangers to friends to lovers

Protective hero 
Hurt/healing 
Dual POV

This one was heart wrenching but still really sweet. I was really frustrated with the side characters and wanted better for Holly. I did enjoy seeing how she grew in her strength and how she started to heal from her trauma. 

Overall, this was a tough one to handle mentally and emotionally but was rewarding in the end. Highly recommend checking trigger and content warnings before starting this book.
