Ok so it's finally time to tackle all these unfinished reviews. SO first I really enjoyed both POVs of Harlow and Sebastian because I thought that their experiences are very different. I thought that the whole drunk driving thing and then going to a facility thing was kind of unrealistic but I have never driven or had substances (BE SAFE my underage besties). They were a cute couple but I could tell some things were not fair like his friends still bullying her and him not wanting to see her in public. Also, Harlow's mom was not very nice who does that?? Have an honest talk with your child and talk to THEIR therapist what the heck. No wonder she hated you and that was the tipping point for her very unfortunate passing. And then the poor guy who struggled with some toxic not dad and addicted to alcohol mom goes BACK to the same place??? WHYY maybe set him up with an actual helpful counselor/therapist. That part really pissed me off. Anyways that's not the author's fault its just how the world is.

My heart is a bit battered, but I have to say this book contains some beautiful writing.
I applaud E.K. Blair for tackling such difficult issues as the ones contained in this story, it certainly wasn’t light reading, and the subject matter was heavy, but our two main characters definitely had stories worth telling.
I’m sure I’ll think about this book for years to come, and for a new-to-me author I don’t know that I can give a greater compliment than that.
