The first half of the book had me in a chokehold, I could not stop reading. I absolutely love TJR’s signature writing move of introducing the backstory to make you fall in love (or despise) the characters.

In the beginning I thought that Mick and June’s love was so beautiful, that I hoped one of them would die rather than leave each other, for love that pure to exist

. It is ultimately a story about love and family, but it is sometimes painful how much love can hurt. great read.

cupidsarroww's review against another edition

The writing was far too sexual for my taste, and quite honestly nothing was happening halfway through the book. The "anticipation" of the party just felt like filler scene after filler scene and I was so bored I couldn't even finish.

This book was soooo good. There was so much drama but I was honestly living for it. The Riva family’s story was very emotional but interesting and heartwarming at the same time. I honestly want a follow up cause I need to know what happens to everyone

after the fire.
