This book made me cry in the best way. Any overthinking, anxiety haver will feel so seen by the main character Elsie. It was the best kind of slow burn that doesn’t hit until like pg 280-ish. Then bam! Turn up that heat. 

This book has one of the best crafted scenes involving consent that I have ever read. Even good ones tend to have a little bit of an awkward feel, but after reading this one I had to take a break and explain it to my partner it was so good. Ali managed to craft it in such a way that it never felt awkward. Hand to god, I feel like that scene alone needs to be studied in English and Health classes everywhere. Amazing job.

I appreciate that while things get rocky for our MCs for a moment then is never a big cliff jump. The HEA was sweet, and left me happy with the resolution while also being 100% read to pick right back up with these characters one day.

And as a day 1 fan, I so appreciated the cameo mentioned in Ali’s dedication page, and easter eggs from other books. 

Also, I agree with Elsie - Bella & Alice should have left all those idiots behind and ridden off into the sunset. (pg 5)

I really enjoyed reading this until I found out it comes from the same universe as Reylo fan fiction. Nothing against people who like that! I just don’t, and it ruined it a bit for me. Thanks for getting me out of my reading slump though!
