It was dull. Surprise baby trope (which I hate) and weird paragraphing.

This was enjoyable. Strong disability and mental illness representation for this genre of fiction. Fast paced story line. I read this (listened to it actually) all in one day and I have no regrets. FYI this is not "romance"

I loved this! I love the brokenness, and the fact that Summer saves him. Summer was a great heroine! This is fiction, but it does raise the question are we helping those that fight for us. Little January has her parents wrapped around her fingers! I need more of this!!!

Not well written. Kind of cute, but was bored with it. The end was the best part.
