A review by ericas_bookshelf
Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan
5.0
FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH.
“The heart speaks in whispers, but sometimes by the time we listen it’s too late.”
I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best romance books I have EVER read. You can’t narrow it down to “tropes” and I won’t attempt to. Kennedy very obviously did her research when it comes to domestic abuse survivors and the hell they endure. I loved that she didn’t shy away from the ugly parts of this story, but she balanced it out with everything that is August. There are heavy TW’s, so take care. But I would highly encourage you to persevere. Because this story will stay with me forever.
Total cry count: 10 separate times, and countless tissue paper graveyards
