Beautiful, truly beautiful. I laughed, I cried, I gasped and I felt every emotion under the sun. Brittainy knows how to write captivating, multi-dimensional characters.
As a black FMC Aaliyah is what I wish black women could be portrayed as more often, delicate, vulnerable, lovable and a joy to be in the shoes of even though she went through a lot I was happy as a reader to go through this journey with her and watch her develop to love herself. I do wish she didn't completely forget all the promises she made on Halloween night to Cap to never settle, although 1 understand she was in a very vulnerable situation not long after and Marie (yes, I blame her for that) took advantage of that.
Cap, Mr Connor Ethan Roe, my dream man, oh was this man a dream and a half, he was so inspirational and a goddamn golden retriever! I loved the support he provided our girl Aaliyah from day dot although that third act had me judging a bit, I get you're scared but would it not have been better to have had Aaliyah's love than lose Aaliyah and forever wish you had spent those last few moments with her? He is lucky things worked out!!! Also, I realised waayyy too late that Jax was Jax from Southern Storms
