Taylor Swift Songs: “All Too Well (TV)”, “back to December”, “daylight” 

This book exceeded all of my expectations. I am absolutely in shock at how my I utterly adored this. I am very hesitant to give 5 stars, I have only done it a handful of times, but this was an easy 5 stars for me. Also beware, this is not really a “Romcom” it’s more of just general fiction. This had absolutely everything, it had amazing plot and twists I could never expect, it had depth and raw emotion and heart, and not just romance but true unadulterated love. This book breaks my heart into a thousand pieces and glued it back together again. I have cried to books maybe 3 times but I cried to this one, oh my gosh, but in a good way. Happy tears. “Your heart is so full it’s going to burst” tears. One of my favorite books I’ve read. Please do yourself a favor and read this. I am hesitant to say too much, because it is better to go into this book and be shocked by the plot twists, trust me. 

Age rating: 15+, a few brief steamy scenes
