I loved this book, loved Lennon, couldn’t help but love Phoenix - even when he made mistakes. I would have given this a five star but I was sad that we didn’t see the outcome of Lennon’s plan at the end or Phoenix reaction to what she was prepared to do for him. Highly recommend anyway!

✨two words: TRAUMA & DRAMA

(may edit later)

💙this is fast and nonstop pace book—although the book is long, it never felt like it

💙the book starts out with the main characters in their senior year of high school~ they connect through the fmc tutoring the mmc

💙then it jumps to 4 years later

💙it’s basically a ‘does he even know I exist’~to friends~to lovers~to enemies~to lovers

💙okay also this book in general is a WILD ride —reference the emphasis of ***trauma*** and ***drama*** a LOT happens and a LOT can be triggering so please read w/ caution (ie: child abuse, body dysmorphia, binge eating, bullying, drug use, addiction, grief, etc) 

💙with all that being said, I cried cuz sad, but also giggled out loud more than once, and also CRIED for TEN mins at one part (this was at an endearing gesture, not a bad part) so this book gives you a lot of feels and books that make me feel so much are in a league of their own

💙you will get so much angst, great main and side characters… I got fully lost in this & didn’t wanna leave 

➖things I’m docking points for➖

🖤I can’t remember what exactly—but it was in the beginning, when they’re still in high school, that the way that Lennon’s body was approached…I don’t know. There’s no way she’s the only plus sized person at the school and they bullied and ostracized her for her weight so badly and…I’m not sure. Just some part of the approach on it felt slightly off.

🖤it is a second chance romance & while it’s totally understandable that there’s mixed feelings about reconnecting & what not, it did bother me how hot and cold it could get abruptly if that makes sense—just like a lil bit…it wasn’t a big issue

🖤the ending did not feel complete & I was left wanting more. I know the book is already long af but the epilogue was like so quick & didn’t give us enough in my opinion. Like it was headed in the right direction, one quick 3 month jump and only like the smallest glimmer—what all happened!!! give us a novella for more or something 😭

~

✨I obviously have so much to say & I LOVED this book & I can’t wait to read more by the author, I’ll keep singing praises about this book & highly recommend y’all read it!!

🎧listened to audio & narrators were so good! 🎧

The first reveal of Lennon’s “coping mechanism” was such a heart breaking experience. The letters in the end made my heart swell. There were a few plot holes and a few times that Lennon really annoyed me, but overall, a good, emotional read!
