I put off reading this book because I wasn’t sure about Kate’s story at all.
In honesty, her behaviour was fairly problematic for a lot of the book, and I did find her very unlikable up until the last 25% maybe. She’s a tormented character for sure, and I understand her reasonings and backstory but I don’t think it made me feel sorry for her enough to condone her actions. Don’t get me wrong, what Kate went through is brutal. I cried throughout this, and would advise checking CW’s. But things worked out in the end and whilst I was frustrated for a lot of the story and wished Kate had made some realisations sooner, I still adored it, and think honestly that was kind of the point.
I want to protect (mostly) gentle giant Beck so badly. He’s so protective (swoon) but also just so kind and loving and supportive. He encourages Kate to have fun again and if you’re a bike girly then hold onto your seats because Beck is speedy on those bends!! Plus, his 🌶️ bedroom talk? Delicious.
The chemistry between the two characters was unreal. The tension and angst it caused as the story went on was brilliant and addictively written. I sat and started to read this, and did not stop- reading it in one sitting, in just under 4 hours.
This series is so so good!
