I knew this book was going to be a 5 ⭐️ in the first 50 pages. There haven’t been many books I’ve read that the characters felt as human as Shane, Eva, and even Audre. The way their joys, agonies, and everything in between are described is nothing short of perfection. I will admit not a lot of “plot” happens in this book it’s all character development and reflection, but if you love that please read. I’m normally not a second chance romance lover, this one is perfection.

Second Chance Romance, Trauma, 2 1/2 🔥

“You push stuff away that isn’t safe and obvious, Mom, but love isn’t safe and obvious. Love is risky. Take the risk, woman.”

“I’ve been roaming around forever, and I’ve never been anywhere I wasn’t itching to leave.”

I have issues with this being labeled a second chance romance because the way Eva and Shane met was not romantic at all. It was so tumultuous, bloody, and unstable that I found myself wondering how they both became so successful in spite of it all. More time, I think, could have been spent on that because the tone shifts between the first hundred or so pages and the past and present were HUGE. Overall, I think this novel was probably a little bit too angsty and slow for me. There are people who love to live in that space, though it was rough for me to get through.

Definitely check the trigger warnings before reading if you think that’s something you’d need.

I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. I almost DNF'd at 50% because I was having trouble connecting with and investing in the characters. The second half was much better; toward the end I finally started buying into their love for one another. I think I needed the book and characters to acknowledge the dysfunction and codependency of the relationship, because once that happened, I was able to fully embrace it. All throughout the writing was beautiful, and I loved the mother-daughter relationship as well as Eva's journey of self-discovery.
