I had to put the book down a couple of times to take a breath, but in the best way. I'm obsessed with the way Edwards writes relationships (of all kinds) and the set up for more to come is *chef's kiss*

I don’t even know where to begin, other then that this is the most emotionally devastating book I’ve read all year. This one made me cry, it had my heart hurting in ways that I’ve never felt for a book before, and I’m pretty sure this book has cemented its place as my favorite book of the year. I honestly don’t have the words for a more coherent review. This is a solid five star book and if you haven’t read the series yet…please do. It’s one of the best that I’ve ever read.
