Faded in Bloom by Julia Wolf

5.0

Goodness, but how Adam and Addie's story put my emotions through the wringer! This book opens with the main characters' friendship in a state of limbo before Julia Wolf takes readers back to when said friendship actually started and how everything led to that opening salvo. My heart broke for Addie. Unrequited love can be devastating, and what made her decide to do what she did in the first chapter was something I could empathize with. The thing is, Adam so adored his Baddie that he would have done harm to himself rather than knowingly hurt her. As more details about Adam and his back story unfolded, it was easier to grasp and comprehend the man behind the fame. There was such depth to these two main characters, and Wolf's layered complexities when it come to them and the story itself had this book surpassing any and all expectations that I had. Faded in Bloom left me with a satisfied smile on my face, and I leave it five-plus stars.
