the first part of this book was ripping my heart out. i loved the dual timeline, learning about their traumas and how it’s shaped them as adults, and seeing eva exist and thrive with her disability. tia williams did a great job at developing shane and eva’s histories … and their attraction to each other was so devastatingly electric! they had great banter, williams is amazing at writing chemistry (and dialogue in general, all of their conversations were spot on)
but by the middle / end, it kind of fell off for me. something about the writing started to irk me, and a lot of the plot devices williams started to employ (introducing new povs, dramatic subplots) were more convenient than they were meaningful to the storytelling. we lost a lot of their character growth to the seven days theme, it all seemed to happen in the epilogue which made the ending feel so rushed!
still though, i thought this was an enticing and touching romance that got me in my feels
