Read this through in one sitting because this is a story that hit so close to home for me.
Cowles shows again that she knows how to write three-dimensional victims of abuse because yes, most of the time we seem just like any other person but we're also really fucked up 🥴
Nash and Maddie are so perfect for each other and even though it's taken them literal decades to finally admit their feelings, you can tell how they've always been the other's nr.1, even when they were "just" friends.
Definitely a new comfort book 🫶🏻
