I'm on the verge of tears as I write this review. Perfect. This book was the perfect conclusion to the Bellinger sisters' stories. Man, oh man. I don't think I can describe how wonderful, thought-provoking, and overall fucking amazing this book was. But I'll try.

So, Fox. I love Fox so damn much and i was aching for him the whole time. Just what he went through his whole life, ideals being forced on him, that playboy mentality engrained since day one. Ugh. My heart broke a million times over. The tactful way the author took on the topic of toxic masculinity just shook me. It's not a topic often covered but it was done so well.

Hannah, sweet lil Hannah. Where do I start? I totally felt a connection to her throughout the whole book. The way she feels about music is the same way I feel about reading and writing. It was great to connect to a character like that. Also, her never giving up on Fox? Round of applause for ma girl here. Damn. The commitment and her showing up for him when he didn't for himself, forcing him to love himself, was just aghhhh I can't even find the words.

And the epilogue was adorable. A perfect wrap up. 10/10. ALSO! Should we talk about the pining, the build up, and the smutty scenes like!?!?!? OKAY- the way they made me so happy for them.

okay, I'm done my rambling but if you are hesitant to read this book. Do it!
