This book tore my heart out basically once a chapter, but I couldn’t put it down. It may start slow and mysterious, but stick with the confusing start, because the pay-off when it comes is huge. 

It’s more plot-heavy than the others, and if you haven’t read the first two, will likely make zero sense. But Kelly and Robbie’s love story being told backwards and forwards is woven in deftly, and the moments of comic relief (mainly from Carter and mostly between bouts of tears) are so very good.

I love this book. The asexual romance novel of my dreams. 
When I read this series as a whole, I always forget about the magic of this book. The heartbreak and heart healing. 
It always hits me upside the head and makes me weep and then warms my soul. 

For my romance fans, what this book lacks in spice, makes up for in dick jokes and honestly, I couldn’t be happier.

I really enjoyed the first half and felt surprised by plot beats, but the second half was pretty predictable and a bit repetitive. Still really appreciate a queer love story.
