Pass the damn TISSUES!! That was so beautiful! Brittainy knows how to crush your soul reading about what Damian and Stella went through as kids but heal you at the same time along with them (granted they both needed therapy not the ocean but details details👀).

I really loved seeing Stella and Damian building an understanding to their situation (big wtf on Kevin’s part because like huh?) and that  eventually turning into an adorable friendship and then a relationship, had me giggling like an idiot the whole way through. Truly each-others UB’s! I also liked that yes Damian didn’t understand Stella at first but he never ridiculed her for what she said/did like talking to the ocean every night. 

Damians emotional intelligence was such a good touch especially since he himself pretty much doesn’t do emotion but he can read people well and helps when he knows he can! The lil hard hummus boy! Loved the cameos of Connor and Aaliyah and how they were doing but also the flashback to how Connor and Damian met. I have accepted that all Brittainy books will have me crying at least once every 2 chapters🙃
