First off, let me start off by saying this book is a 5 ⭐️ read! and what a journey this book was! This was my first book by Megan Brandy, and it didn’t disappoint not one bit. The book starts off so innocent and fun, a group of friends, more like family really, heading off to college together to start their adult lives. They’re all thick as thieves. The story focuses around Arianna, Ari for short, our FMC, and her journey of love and healing. This is told in such a beautifully tragic way. The author rips our hearts out. I stayed up till 2am silent sobbing next to my husband to finish this. I couldn’t put it down and needed to know how this story ended. I cannot emphasize this enough, it is SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN.
Also, there is spice and I give this one 3 🌶️
If you’re on the fence abt this one, just read it. It’s amazing. It’ll be one I’m left thinking abt for a long time and telling all my book besties abt.

The beginning was really slow. The author put all the emotions and devastation in the last 25%. And the epilogue wasn't really necessary if you would ask me

Words cannot explain how good this book is. My emotions were all over the place and heartbreaking as it was in place how heartwarming it was in others that I could just scream into the nothingness. This beautiful story was long but god it just wasn’t long enough and I just wanted more and more.  Noah is not just a book boyfriend but a bloody husband. I wanna find a love like his and Arianna’s. Honestly I believe with all my heart that this book is going to stay with me for the rest of my life, that is how powerful it was. 

While I hated the tragedy that happen within the story my heart was broken and put back together in the moments after. I will forever refer this book to whoever wants to hear it. I wish I read this book sooner. Also to any guys in the universe, yeah my standards have again been increased so I have a feeling I might be single longer now. THANKS!

If I could rate it with more stars I absolutely would!

It was good!! I didn’t give it 5 stars because I don’t like books with sexual content. I usually skip those pages. Overall it was written so WELL!!! All the way till the end. The last half of the book had me on edge. Cried my eyes out too!!
