This is beautifully written. While this is a hard story to read, it's an important one. Hastings takes such care with these characters and you so desperately ache for them to have a "win"

I love how Jessa Hastings creates her world and wraps you up tight inside of it. Her characters are flawed and messy and it draws you in from the first page. Everything she writes makes sense to me - also the links to Magnolia Parks Universe made me gasp. 
Not only does she write phenomenally but this story was just so captivating. I was hooked all the way through. 

The only reason for my deduction of points is that I don’t believe in instant love, although this book sure was close to changing my mind.
