This book requires content warnings which I’ll put below!
I wasn’t sure what to think of this book to be honest. Obviously Avery is going through an extremely traumatic time, and having Jude and his children around are an asset. But Elle didn’t make anything easy for her and I struggled with the believability of their relationship change 🥲
However, there are some moments where you can see the beauty of the nuance (e.g. Avery and Willow’s relationship clearly has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations and the fact they start to acknowledge this is precious). I quite liked the ending as well ☺️
I must say, I wasn’t expecting the twist of Oliver being dead! Wow! 😫
For anybody that is grieving, please make sure to reach out for help ❤️
I’m giving this a 2.5 out of 5 star rating ✨
