I really enjoyed TTOFAJ! It wasn’t as dark as I thought it was going to be since ‘tragedy’ is in the title but the tragedy is more about how they shouldn’t be together and their addictions

I liked how the book was written- there were parts where the MMCs were talking to the reader, which I don’t typically get in books and enjoyed. My emotions went on a ROLLER COASTER but it was worth it in the end

The couple things that aren’t making me give this a full 5 stars is 1)

CJ being a dick to Jake about Riley’s miscarriage but he redeems himself so I can’t really hate him

and 2)

I wish Jake got back at his ex more rather than sending her a text to F off and THEN screwing someone else while him and Felix were just connecting and getting to know each other

Sweet, funny, heavy, emotional roller coaster from start to finish. Could have been a tiny bit shorter as it started to get repetitive, but I didn’t mind some extra banter and character building. I miss them already!

I loved this book.  An emotional book dealing with dark themes and has spicy scenes addiction.  I think it wrote about addiction and a very gritty and realistic way and yet had great humor even if some was dark I found myself laughing out loud a lot in this book despite it being emotional and heavy. As someone who deals with tragedy and difficult situations with humor and dark humor I truly appreciate it this book and it will be my top books of the year
