I really just read this on a whim. It was entertaining, but the way mental health was handled wasn't for me. A girl running away and Ivy's entire story felt far-fetched in parts, but there should be a trigger warning for what is basically referencing prostitution. There may be a warning for it, I honestly have no idea. It's a friends to lovers romance that occurs years after the friends are separated. I liked Aiden, and I liked the ending very much.

For the most part, the fact that I finished it is all I can really say.
dark emotional tense medium-paced

This was a raw and emotional read. Slow burn, friends to lovers, traumatic past, college football romance! Plenty of angst, spice and things that will make you say wow! Definitely check trigger warnings before going into this one.
