4.25

As much as I wish it was this was definitely not a 5 star read for me personally 
This book was deeply fucked up and the characters were super flawed but those weren’t even the reason why it wasn’t 5 ⭐️- I mean I fully was not prepared for all of that but that wasn’t even the issue really I don’t think. My issue mainly was because of all of that despite how much I loved the characters and the incredible character work that Tia Williams did, the main couple just seemed toxic and like they probably shouldn’t be together at least not till they got their shit together. That’s all even more true with Eva having a daughter and her being at least somewhat aware of their relationship. However, I do think this book is really really important in a lot of ways and was really really well done which is why I rated it as (relatively) highly as I did. 
Not even when I finished it but as I got towards the end I really could not decide how I feel about this book. I think 4.25 is a pretty good descriptor but I still don’t fully know cause this book gave me such mixed feelings

Moderate: Suicide attempt, Racism, Car accident, Child death, Suicide, and Suicidal thoughts

Minor: Vomit

There are many instances of racial slurs, specifically the n word being used in this book but just wanted to give the context of that word only being used by Black people in this book. I feel kinda weird putting it as a content warning because of that context since I don’t think that’s what they mean but just in case, I figured I’d include it cause it is in there

sarabook's review against another edition

The book has no idea what it wants to be. Funny romance one minute, serious deep dive the next. Serious trigger warnings.
