i cannot in good conscience rate this higher considering all the bullshit nicholas was pulling in this. check trigger warnings too because they’re around every corner in this book
yeah i did cry at carly jo’s letter, wtf is that name about
this is in third person following different characters, usually alex and katie which is great until fuckingKEVIN the ABUSIVE HUSBAND ALCOHOLIC COP ’s POV gets just far much space on the page. i heard a little too much of the ramblings of a horrifying man. the end of the book flies by because it’s fucking intense just waiting for kevin to find her at the carnival or whatever the switching POVs/ narrative focus or whatever made it a quick read, but i’ll never return to this book
also WHY was alex an EX COP randomly, ick
this is in third person following different characters, usually alex and katie which is great until fucking
also WHY was alex

Honestly this is probably more of a four, but I’m not going to change my rating.
This was a reread to me and I still really enjoyed it. This story is a lot different than his other books(if you know you know) and I enjoyed that. The plot of this kept me engaged and I love a small town vibe. The romance was honestly whatever. Sparks male leads are all the same and have zero personality in my opinion. This does deal with some heavier topics. The middle of this did kind of drag which is why it’s closer to a four star. I also cried reading this which I don’t know if I did before so there’s that. I would say this is one of his better books and would recommend
