Oh an best friends older brother romance, yay!
I should have read the description better, because I was in for romance and got #emotionaldamage but in such a good way!
This book pulled out my heart, stomped on it a few times and tore it to pieces.
Then it picked it all up, washed the pieces and glued it all back together.
What a ride!

Trigger warning: book included significant talk about suicide and grief associated with suicide. Please be safe when choosing to start this book. 

That being said, wow! I am heartbroken, and overjoyed, and i felt so many emotions alongside all these characters. What an epic tale of loss and recovery. The spice was good, definitely more on the angsty side of things. But I enjoyed how it played into the overall story.

Genuinely, I feel like the best parts of this book was when it was from the perspective of anyone but the FMC. The FMC comes off to me a little 2D and lacks the emotional baggage that comes from her backstory.

The brother’s POV was a lot more interesting and his character development was truly enjoyable to read where the FMC’s fell flat to me. The dad’s character development was also gratifying but I also loved how the author depicted how broken relationships is hard to fix even if you wanted to change. I wished we could have gotten more POV from them both. 

In the end, the true starring character is Kellan Marchetti. And the name drop was 🥲💔

This book destroyed me! I have never cried so early in a book or related to a book more! I don't know if this makes sense but this book helped me a lot somehow it was so healing to read and sometimes I broke down and I was really scared that they wouldn't end up together but they did and I loved it! I have never felt something like this after reading a book and I don't know what it is that I feel but omg this book it deserves more fame I LOVE IT!!

This book destroys you, it clutches onto your heart and rips it out. Shredding it into millions of  pieces,  only to tape the edges back together by the end .  

Such a heartbreaking, raw, beautiful, love story within another love story. 
I cried three times so be warned lol 

By far one of my favorite reads ❤️  My heart left a piece of itself within this book and I frankly don’t ever want it back . 

5✨❤️😭

Favorite quote : 
“I realized, with depressing clarity, that she wasn’t the venom at all. She was the antidote. But the quantities were all off.”
