I’m sorry to say this book was so boring. I feel like it took weeks to read. I was going to give it a one star but the last 10-20% of the book picked up. #1 I just didn’t like Aaliyah. She was weak and pathetic. There was just something about her character I couldn’t like. I liked Conner. He was a proud Mama’s boy. He was sweet and kind. #2 I just didn’t feel their romance. I didn’t feel a connection. The book just dragged on and on. I just was bored throughout the entire read.

Look, I don’t know what I can say about Brittainy Cherry that hasn’t been said about her before. I’m an avid fan, an auto buy fan, and a forever fan. Periodtttt.
The most important thing about this novel that I enjoyed the most was the fact that it was so character driven. She provided us with the best character interactions, dialogue, and complexities that I have seen in a long time. Not only that, but her secondary characters never cease to amaze me. To know that you can still read a book and envision the people you are reading about– makes me so happy.
Yet again, Brittainy has wrote another original story line that keeps us turning those pages and falling in love every time we do. I can’t ever ask for a better romance book when it comes to Brittainy Cherry. She delivers each and every time.

Okay, 70% of the book was to meeeeh for me, but the last 30% made it up!!
Having dealt with transplants/emergency surgeries and all that, it hit me hard, but let me say this!
CONNOR IS WAYYY TOO GOOD! I mean, we are all fucked up and have to have backbone somewhere!! It felt like A had more courage, balls and backbone than he did.
I still loved him, but I felt he deserved more. He felt too happy, to nice... ITS 2021!! NO ONE is that nice
That being said: 3.5 ⭐️!!

Ich kann mich gar nicht entscheiden, ob ich das Buch mochte oder nicht. Ich weiß nur, dass es mich runtergezogen hat. Ich habe mich die ganze Zeit niedergeschlagen gefühlt. Selbst das Ende lässt den Leser irgendwie nicht optimistisch zurück sondern misstrauisch, ob nicht nach der Geschichte doch noch eine Katastrophe passiert. Für mich war es zu viel Drama auf einmal. Es gibt auch keinen Charakter, bei dem man mal eine Pause machen kann. Jeder in der Geschichte ist von so viel Melancholie umgeben, dass ich irgendwann Angst um jeden hatte.
Die Beziehung zwischen Aaliyah und Connor habe ich nicht so richtig nachfühlen können. Plötzlich sind die beiden quasi seelenverwandt? Den Weg dahin habe ich glaube ich verpasst.
Mein Lichtblick war Damian, der schon am Anfang cool war, aber sich im Laufe der Geschichte als richtig toller Charakter herausgestellt hat.
Die Geschichte an sich finde ich schön und ich hätte sie gerne viel mehr gemocht. Leider gab es für mich zu viel Drama, zu viel Melancholie und zu viele Schicksalsschläge.
