TW: Child abuse—emotional and physical—mentioned, eating disorders discussed
Aurora is a painfully relatable character for me. Like to the point where I teared up over her a few times. If you’ve struggled with an ED her story is like a baseball bat to the stomach with the authenticity it gives. I just wanted to sit with her and tell her it gets better, that there are awful days still, but the good outweighs the bad. I feel like LA Cotton did a really beautiful job describing the mental war that I know I still battle.
Noah is honestly such a complex guy. I probably wanted to stränglë him and hug him the same amount of times. He was lowkey a cinnamon roll that had no idea he was a cinnamon roll until he met Aurora. Watching him flounder and figure out falling in love was honestly one of my favorite things I’ve read this month.
These two coming together and figuring it out was perfection and I can’t wait to get peaks of them through the other’s stories!
