katypotaty0908's review against another edition

I kept reading incase the plot picked up or got more interesting, but by page 200 it really hadn’t. Pregnancy was a much bigger theme than I expected. It was quite a depressing tone on the whole, and as someone who has been going through IVF and had a miscarriage 5 weeks ago, it probably wasn’t the best choice despite thoroughly checking the content warnings and reviews!

I found comfort in this book and with Tor. At first I found it difficult to get into Tor as a character and how she see and thinks. But I slowly got into it and found so many sad similarities. Her relationship highlights perfectly how easy it is to stay in a situation such as hers and how easy it is to be left behind.
Love Holly Bourne and loved this book over all just wish there was a few more chapters as I desperately would love to hear a few month/years after.

Found it boring and did not like the use of stock photos in the book! Lots of things on the surface that needed to be addressed.
