3.5

This would have been a solidly 4 or 4.5 star book but man the last third really ruined it for me. The events behind the fallout between Elliott and Macy were just too much to come back from and I feel like Elliott's part wasn't really explored enough

Spoiler

Elliott was sexually assaulted, which is not explicitly stated (and therefore acknowledged imo by Macy) so there's no empathy or acknowledgement of *his* trauma. Macy's dad's death is so intrinsically tied to Elliott's "betrayal" I cannot believe that their relationship can so easily come back from that. Maybe I've never loved anyone that much but the end really left a sour taste in my mouth

This was a fun, quick read. It does go back and forth between present day and the past, which may not be for everyone.

emotional sad

3.5

This was a nice story but just too sad for me! A nice romance just does not make up for that kind of loss imo.
