What a slow burn,

it took them over 100 pages to actually meet!

But I did enjoy the slow-burn and how sweet and thoughtful Leon was, not rushing into it. 

It was interesting to see the whole Justin thing progress as she started seeing the emotional abuse he inflicted for what it was, as she went on her healing journey!

All the x’s (kisses) after the messages they’d write for each other was so cringe but it’s British so whatever, it’s expected.

I adore this book. Leon and Tiffy are such well defined characters in and of themselves. I really love that they have lives and passions and motives outside of the blooming romance. It makes it feel so much more grounded. 

The tropes are silly and fun. Yes, they were a bit cliche but with these characters, it didn’t feel cliche. It felt more real and feasible. 

I know a lot of people were turned off by Leon’s POV but I actually really loved it. It gave a strong sense of his character right from the start but I get why it’s not for everyone.

Read this all in one day, and wept like a baby at the end. So tender, so sweet, and such a thoughtful portrayal of what Leon calls a “post-trauma situation”. I really don’t ever read romance but damn, if they’re all like this I could be so interested
