I had put off this book for a while after seeing reviewers complain about Olivie Blake’s writing style and rating this book low. I just want to say if you’re intrigued by a book don’t let people who hate on a book prevent you from reading it because I couldn’t disagree with them more. The writing was beautiful and this story moved me so much. I was so invested in both the main characters and this book touches on heavier topics like mental health and addiction. I cried reading the acknowledgments and this story has a special place in my heart now. I don’t even do star reviews anymore unless it’s for an ARC but this masterpiece is getting 5 stars. I’ll be going down an Olivie Blake worm hole if any of yall need me.
