I have pretty mixed feelings about this book, I really enjoyed it the majority of the way through (literally couldn’t put it down) but i’m not a big fan of the ending being a cliffhanger for a sequel it feels unnecessary

I really liked the plot though, Im not a huge romance reader so i always enjoy ones like this where there is another storyline alongside the romance

The main character was also terrifyingly relatable at points which was great until it wasn’t (once again reminding you all and myself to check trigger warnings before reading a book i wish i had been more prepared for parts of this) that said the topic of ptsd is handled really realistically, and there was a good balance of humour to help soften the blow of the more graphic trauma heavy parts

Overall an excellent book but probably not one i’ll reread anytime soon…

I enjoyed this book so much, but the whole “I’m not like other girls” plot line really took me out of it.
