Wow. This book got me ALL up in my feels! Like crying on the train feels. I wish the world for Eden.... as long as she stops calling her mom 'Mama'.

cute but incomplete

This was cute, in its own way but I felt lost most of the time.

It was advertised to me as romance but really it’s more about self reflection and overcoming trauma.

The romance is fleet and ‘instant’ in a way that the readers completely miss it. Their interactions are few and far between then all of a sudden it’s love ?

I’m leaning more towards 2.75 but feel 3 is a good basis as the story had loads of potential but for me fell flat.

It’s also singular pov via FMC (which is fine) I prefer dual which could have impacted the way I feel about the read

The End and Then delves into trauma recovery and romance, vulnerability, acceptance and trust and incorporating all into one emotionally gripping debut. Eden moves to Colorado to escape her past and try to build a new life-with her friend Zoey, her budding relationship with Chase, and her therapist, there to assist her.

I did however find myself wanting more relationship development between Eden and Chase, although Chase’s character was my favorite…he is so comforting, dependable and steady. The world needs more Chases. I now want to read every book this author has written and will surly be reading future releases. I’m

Beautifully written characters, I felt like I was in loveless the whole time. Loved how Hannah wrote Eden’s trauma response it was very relatable but also not unrealistic, I think a lot of people will like her main character.

Only issue I had with the book was it felt a hair long. Super excited to read the companion novel!

Wow! What a powerful book. After reading the summary I did not expect it to be as deep and moving as it was. The trauma Eden faced was so well depicted and relatable (even though I've never experienced what she did.)

So well written and I loved all of the main characters and side characters.

I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait for book #2 in the Loveless series!!
