Reviews with content warning for Mass/school shootings - The Culmination of Everything

A great enemies to lovers story! Kyle and Ben really didn’t like each other, but their back and forth was hilarious. Who says you have to like the person you have sex with lol? They both experienced a lot of trauma, but it took them a bit to communicate that to each other. I like that Kyle took time for herself to heal and to try and find herself.

I never would have known or heard about this book if it weren’t for booksta. And y’all, I would have been missing out! I didn’t know what to expect going in since there wasn’t much of a description for it. But it was such a heartbreaking and beautiful story. I will say, Ben started out as a real piece of work😅. I can’t wait to check out the next book in this series!

Here are a few things to note:

MCs: Ben & Kyle
Second chance love
Double POVs (my favorite)
Sunny vs Grumpy (VERY heavy on the grumpy)
Enemies to lovers
Small town romance
SPICY spicy
PLEASE check content warnings for this one. There was one thing that I didn’t see coming and wished I had known beforehand to mentally prepare.

This moment right here, was everything the last several months had been leading up to you. Hurting, but still able to laugh through it. Exhausted, but ready to see what was next. Grieving… But finally able to see the possibility of something else on the horizon.

“It wasn’t stupid. It was… grief. It’s a complex thing.”

TW/CW: Loss of a loved one, child death, Gun violence, school shootings

I loved the tension and chemistry between our two main characters. They were scorching hot! I also didn’t expect to feel so many emotions! Definitely a tear jerker.
