This book is literally emotional damage in physical form. I realise it’s unhinged to say this book made me sob and then award it 5⭐️ but look, I’m just a girl. 

I thought this was such a beautiful love story. The way that Adena and Mak come together by helping one another literally healed me. She brought sunshine to his little life and the way this man complemented her for it made me cry and scream whilst kicking my feet like a little girl who has just been given ice cream. 

I mean don’t get me wrong, my heart is now broken. But it was worth it for the journey there. This book is simultaneously healing and destroying. Just a really simple and beautiful short love story, that did a great job of filling that gap in between Kai and Paedyns books. But just a warning, have tissues for the whole thing because I didn’t just cry at the end!
