I knew this book was going to be a 5 ⭐️ in the first 50 pages. There haven’t been many books I’ve read that the characters felt as human as Shane, Eva, and even Audre. The way their joys, agonies, and everything in between are described is nothing short of perfection. I will admit not a lot of “plot” happens in this book it’s all character development and reflection, but if you love that please read. I’m normally not a second chance romance lover, this one is perfection. 

Second Chance Romance, Trauma, 2 1/2 🔥

“You push stuff away that isn’t safe and obvious, Mom, but love isn’t safe and obvious. Love is risky. Take the risk, woman.”

“I’ve been roaming around forever, and I’ve never been anywhere I wasn’t itching to leave.”

3.0

I have issues with this being labeled a second chance romance because the way Eva and Shane met was not romantic at all. It was so tumultuous, bloody, and unstable that I found myself wondering how they both became so successful in spite of it all. More time, I think, could have been spent on that because the tone shifts between the first hundred or so pages and the past and present were HUGE. Overall, I think this novel was probably a little bit too angsty and slow for me. There are people who love to live in that space, though it was rough for me to get through. 

Definitely check the trigger warnings before reading if you think that’s something you’d need.

Intriguing concept with good chronic illness representation, but lost momentum half way in, with rushed pacing towards the end.
