This was so good! Keanu is just overwhelming in the best ways. I loved how he loved Lyric and how she loved them right back. The mutual pining was definitely strong. Their story was a beautiful one, though not always easy. I understood why Lyric was hesitant because she went through a very serious trauma (off page, but mentioned here and in Luca), but at the same time her fears/concerns seemed a little repetitive. I think what really would have helped me understand that more would have been actually seeing the therapy that she mentioned at one point or at least seeing her continue therapy. It felt like she said she went, but didn’t really learn from it. There was also a weird moment about between Keanu and his cousin that I side-eyed and seemed unnecessary, but overall a great read.

These two are so nasty!!! But I love it lol. Also, if cheating (no matter how brief) is an issue with you, be cautious going into this because they do get together while she’s technically entertaining another man. It didn’t bother me and I actually loved it because I’m messy (lol) but I know some people get upset about that.

CW: mentions of domestic violence, on-page miscarriage
