This is the first book to have me silently sobbing in the middle of the night. 

Because it’s a romance novel, the ending is predictable given the genre but that didn’t make it any less impactful. 

At times, I couldn’t stop crying because it felt like my own thoughts and emotions were on the page. This is the most accurate depiction of anxiety and depression I have read… well ever. 

I am so thankful this book exists. What a lovely, tender story.
