Most content warnings apply to flashbacks, so you do know that the characters are in a better place in present day. But it's still pretty explicit.auudrey's review against another edition

Then imagine him reappearing in your life because HE’s now ready to talk to you, the audacity.
So much miscommunication, instalove, toxic relationships/habits and tendencies. They are not good for each other, they are constantly running away from things and not communicating with each other. Even 15 years later and they’re both still hurting each other, leaving/running away. They do not help each other be better people.
This book, these characters, it just wasn’t for me.
Also the “twist” where Lizette was the one that sent Shane to jail because she thought he had done something to Eva (which is TOTALLY understandable!) as the scene she walks in on is literally Eva passed out from drugs & alcohol as well as pleading from her self-harm cuts so there’s blood. Why didn’t Shane tell her? I just don’t understand why if you loved them so much you wouldn’t be straight up with him from the get go after he left you? If you guys had such a real and intense connection, how could you let him go that easily?
