It feels like a 12 year old wrote this. The writing is bad and the storyline is even worse. It’s cringey and annoying throughout.

This book was absolutely amazing. It made me have all the emotions especially in the last about 100 pages. I was bawling my eyes out at the end so grab tissues. The cover of the book is so traumatizing now.

Read this online, and this is genuinely the WORST romance book I've ever read (if you can even call it romance). Like, step sibling incest? Really? If Tate wasn't in this book, it would've made NO difference.

This book is the worst book I have ever read in my entire existence of living, and Miles was the grossest, creepiest “book boyfriend” I have ever encountered. Example A:

“I take a shower in her bathroom. I like this shower. I like it more than I liked it back when it was just my shower. I like seeing her things in here. I like looking at her razor and imagining what she looks like when she uses it. I like looking at her shampoo bottles and thinking about her with her head tilted back beneath the stream of water as she rinses it out of her hair. I love that my shower is her shower, too.”

Example B: The “her” in the preceding passage is Miles’s stepsister. BRO. Excuse me. What???

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Years after the end of his relationship with his stepsister, Miles meets Tate. The morning after they meet, he knows she is something special and creepily watches her as she sleeps in her bed. Please do not tell me there are readers who want this man IRL. Three words: STAGE. FIVE. CLINGER. 

Don’t even get me started on the plot (or lack thereof). I guess if you want to read a book about sex between characters who know absolutely nothing about each other, this is the book for you. I would totally be okay if I never read or heard the name Rachel ever again. Now please excuse me while I go vomit. YUCK!

"Tate" he says. He's facing his door, and he doesn't turn around to finish his sentence. "Sometimes a man's spirit just ain't strong enough to withstand the ghost from his past." He opens the apartment door and walks inside. "Maybe that boy just lost his spirit somewhere along the way" He closes his door and leaves me attempt to decipher even more confusion.
page 227


Moment when he leaves.
Because he always leave.
— page 243


"I don't want to swim anymore," He says, sliding his lips from the base of my throat all the way up to my mouth again. "Well, then, what do you want to do?" I whisper weekly. "You" he says without hesitation "In my shower. From behind" I swallow a huge lump of air and feel it all the way to the pit of my stomach. "Wow. That's very specific."
"And also in my bed" he whispersed. "With you on top, still soaking wet from the shower."
I inhale sharply, and we can both hear the tremble of my breath I exhale
"Okay," I tried to say,but his mouth is on mine before the word is even all the way out.
page 257


"Listen,Tate," I tell her. "I want your mess. I want your clothes in my bedroom floor. I want your toothbrush in my bathroom. I want your shoes in my closet. I want your mediocre leftovers in my fridge." She laughs at that. "Oh, and I almost forgot," I say, pulling the other box for my pocket. I hold it up between us and open it, revealing the ring. "I also want you in my future.Forever."
