I was immediately wrapped up and fell in love with the characters (except Joel he can choke😂🤭) it definitely makes you think about how we operate life and makes you kind of wonder what would you do?
My big take away from this is just to love life even if it’s the little things because they can become the big things

A rainy night brings Tallie and Emmett together at the right time for each of them. Tallie, a therapist recovering fom a devastating divorce, encounters Emmett at his lowest attempting to end his pain. Throughout the next 3 days, they experience a lot of emotions together. But both of them are keeping secrets about who they are so they can be allowed the freedom of not being judged for their profession or their past.
.
A beautifully written journey about healing, taking up your own space and how to move forward.

The ending was absolutely not satisfying - not for the most obvious reason (I can definitely respect and appreciate that), but because it really didn't fit the rest of the plot. The story simply gets interrupted and yanked back into "real life", I guess.
I wanted to like this book so much and now I'm just sad and disappointed, like I've fallen for a ruse.
