This book caught me by surprise but not in the best way..
If I had read the blurb on the back comparing it to me before you, I probably would have known I wasn’t gonna love the ending and round up of the story. But alas, I hardly every reading the back before I dive into a book🤷♀️
There was some really sweet things in this relationship, but there was a lot of hard stuff they both individually went through too. I did not enjoy or agree with the way the author chose to end their story and I ugly cried bad at the end so.
*content warning there seemed like a lead up to sex scene that I completely skipped over so not sure how in detail it got. Also in general talk about sex. Also bridal shower at one part of the book & more sexual talk & jokes then also.
Other content warning: Physical abuse, abusive father, parent abandoning child, miscarriage, talk of depression, loss of loved ones, death, grief.

jc_wb's review against another edition
4.5
I honestly don't know how to review this book. I started reading it at lunchtime and finished it in the evening with a break for a meal. The story and writing were well written and well developed. I hadn't read anything for a while before starting this book but the fact I finished in about 6 hours is a testament to the writing.
I ended the book sobbing so much that my husband came through from another room to check I was OK (I wasn't).
Many books have made me cry but I think the story and message in this book will stick with me for a long time.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.
