This book broke my heart. I went in blind and I don’t regret that. I think if I knew some of the plot points that shocked me and hurt me, the read wouldn’t have been the same. I ignored the trigger warnings (because I don’t really have any. If you need them, I won’t suggest skipping them.) since I feel they sometimes give away plot points. I dove in head first and got hurt. But I don’t regret it. I never do.

I don’t have enough words to say how much I love this book. I know it has some problematic subjects and themes but to me it worked as a almost healing process.
Sometimes we all feel guilty about things we can’t control and see all the different perspectives off life and it’s circumstances, see that no one it’s guilty but we are all responsible for our acts and need to be hold accountable for them, and news flash: by ourselves, because it’s no one job but ours to really understand our faults.
And yes, the smut it’s incredible 🤣
About the characters, I live for complicated minds, cat and mouse relationships. So this was a chefs kiss experience.

A beautiful story about love and grief. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars, was I found some of the spicy scenes to be REALLY cringy.
I love how everything tied in and felt purposeful.

I absolutely completely loved this book. It had me on a complete emotional rollercoaster. I loved all the characters literally (aside from the characters at Kellen and Charlotte's school but they're not in a big chunk of this story so it's fine) even the ones you think you'll hate in the beginning by the end of the book you love them, flaws and everything. I literally could not stop reading this since I started it aside from the necessary things like eating.

The build up to Charlotte and Tate getting together was amazing. I felt their chemistry through and through even through all their hate for each other in the beginning.

And Leah (Charlotte's sister) I found myself rooting for her on her journey as well with love and acceptance of herself and letting others in after heartbreak and emotional/physical scarring. And Jonah is the most patient man I every had the pleasure of reading about. He understood Leah's insecurities and loves her unconditionally despite her trying to push him away.

By the end we got three love stories. Kellen and Charlotte (first love), Tate and Charlotte (soulmates drawn together by fate) and then Leah and Jonah (the patient love that takes determination and persistence). I loved reading every single one of their love stories no matter how shortlived or long lasting they ended up being.

I honestly can't recommend this book enough. I just highly suggest checking the trigger/content warnings because it gets quite heavy throughout the entire book.
