Nash has to be one of my favorite mmc’s that I have read this year! This book would be perfect if it didn’t have so many mysteries and plots happening at the same time. I wanted more Nash and Maddie scenes, but understand that Catherine was probably trying to set up the characters for the later books in the series!

CW: violence, stalking, domestic violence, emotional abuse

I liked Nash and Maddie's story. I like how Maddie and Nash have people to talk to work out their feelings and sort themselves out. The suspense portion keeps things interesting. I enjoyed how Nash and Maddie communicated. There isn't a third-act breakup.

Read this through in one sitting because this is a story that hit so close to home for me. 

Cowles shows again that she knows how to write three-dimensional victims of abuse because yes, most of the time we seem just like any other person but we're also really fucked up 🥴 

Nash and Maddie are so perfect for each other and even though it's taken them literal decades to finally admit their feelings, you can tell how they've always been the other's nr.1, even when they were "just" friends. 

Definitely a new comfort book 🫶🏻

This was a good listen. Maddie and Nash were best friends as kids and had kind of lost touch when Maddie moved away with her fiancé. Now she's back, running away from her abusive ex. It gives Maddie and Nash a chance to act on the feelings they have always had for each other. I liked how Cowles's portrayed Maddie's struggles and how supportive Nash was. The suspense plot was pretty good, too.
