After an unfortunate hit, Rhys experiences anxiety like no other. The way that it's portrayed in the novel is well written and exactly what it feels like. Sadie spends most of her life fighting the same anxiety and doesn't feel love, like truly, until Rhys shows her. They help each other through the worst times of their lives and fall in love through the process.

5.0

I've been waiting for this book since July (I think?), so obviously I had to pause whatever I was doing and read it as soon as it came out.

When I don't like a book I write paragraphs about the things that bothered me, but when there's something I love I never know how to express myself and explain what I enjoyed. Unfortunately this is one of those cases too.
I just... I cried. It made me emotional. It broke my heart and put it back together. So that obviously makes it a five star read for me.

I was so impatient and excited about this book that in the past couple of months I kept reading and rereading all the snippets that the author had shared, so many of the emotional and impactful moments I already knew and was expecting. They still got to me though, and there were also a lot of emotional moments that hadn't been shared before so it's not like I actually spoiled myself.
