I really had to push myself through the book. It took what too long to find out why everyone was angry with each other.
reading all the depression & anixity & toxic relationship Kat was in I really didn't think jumping into a relationship with Nathan was a good idea. Sure she's seeing a theapist in the Epilogue but it wasn't enough for me. I also didn't really feel why the main couple was in love now or in the past. I guess their great skill of writing together was suppose to mean more to me then it did.

5.0

As someone who loves to write, this was incredibly relatable. The way these two authors write about writing, the passion. And then translate that to the passion and tension between two authors, ugh it’s so good. THE ANGST. Also the authors’ writing was so beautiful, how they captured every moment/glance between Katrina and Nathan. The burning, the unrequited love all those years. The glowing embers of passion, it was SO good. 

I relate to Katrina on many levels, mainly being afraid of disappointing people and being afraid of my own happiness. This book struck such a chord with me, one of my favorite romance books of all time for sure.
