4.0

Is this the best written book? no. but does it hit the spot. absolutely yes. the sometimes awkward “because duh i’m a man” garrett thoughts at the beginning are compensated by the characters and his personality at the end of the book.

I'm genuinely gutted I waited so long to read this book. I absolutely loved Hannah and Garrett to the point it's not been a full 24hrs since I first started this book.

I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

May be difficult to read for readers who have experience with sexual assault/ rape. Heavy mentions/ is important to plot

First five star read in a hot minute but this book deserves it. I’m currently writing this review in the time it takes for the second book of the series to download. Props to Elle Kennedy for using my name for the main character. All of the characters are equally love able and frustrating, although I appreciate that the inevitable 3/4 mark miscommunication was done extremely well. All the love, always <3

maybe a spoiler but the main love interest is not responsible for the SA that occurred; to be clear.
