“Because if we knew, if we honestly knew the price of love was grief, we'd never do it.”

We all know a Rory, the selfish boyfriend that pictures too prominently in this story. But more than that, we all know Adelaide, whether it’s us, or someone close to us, we know her. When I saw the cover, I was intrigued. When I read a couple of reviews, I knew I needed to read it. As a romance reader mostly, this book sucked me in, and I’ve had several days to sit and ponder it. Adelaide loves with her whole self, she doesn’t hold back, and that could be her undoing for the way she is taken advantage of. I must put it out there, this is NOT a love story, put it out of your mind. It’s a story of a woman that is faced with tragedy, ill-treatment, and left in the rain to cry her heart out. It is about breaking, and it is about healing after a long grieving period. When life kicks you in the butt, you learn that there are friends to help you pick up the pieces, and you don’t always have to do it on your own. The novel is a journey of self-discovery, anguish, love, and most of all learning to love again.

“You have to love freely, and unselfishly, and with intention... It's the only way.”

Definitely shed a few tears over this one, a hard--emotional read, but a good story about a girl who falls into toxic relationships and struggles with her mental health.

Ouch. At times this was far too relatable for comfort. Watching from the outside as Adelaide goes through an obviously toxic relationship and deep mental health struggles is hard, sad, and frustrating. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. But it’s so worth seeing the transformation of a young woman. An experience I deeply identify with.
