3.5⭐️ it was such a quick read and I couldn’t put it down
Got really far through this one and I just got a bit bored, I’m my own worse enemy because I complain in other books that the relationship build up isn’t there but then completely glaze over when it takes more than 50% of the book for a kiss.
I’m not rating because I think the book was really well written, and in particular the descriptions around abuse and why people stay was really powerful and dealt with respect and clearly either personal experience or research.
I just didn’t feel engaged, I loved hearing about the relationship with the mum and child and her friendships but the whole pretty much hearing about every shift she works got a bit tedious, and gave me second hand exhaustion.
I think people will find this really relatable, and with great characters it’s just not the story I’m looking for right now.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a story told from a VERY vulnerable place. Their chemistry was amazing and I adored Jamie and Layla!!

mag garrett nicht… der ist einfach eine walking red flag, mochte es nur wie er j-man behandelt aber das war’s auch. das buch war aber echt gut, habe es gerne gelesen. maddie und jamie sind amazing und irgendwie shippe ich maddison und garrett auch aber er ist mir zu aggressiv und dominant und stalkerhaft kp. das kapitel wo maddie zu ihm nachhause geht… ist intense aber finde ihn halt auch einfach cringe. finde gut dass das buch nicht so idealisierend ist, wie das sonst so gemacht wird mit single parents und als ob alles so einfach wäre, das hat mir sehr gefallen aber war ab und zu auch hart zu lesen.
It’s hard to rate a book when you love the single parent rep, the sassy eight-year-old, and some of the important themes the book touches on, but the book uses the words “males” and “females” way too much and the love interest gives you the ick… I had so many favorite quote highlights, more than most of my recent reads, but I also had to use a new kindle note color for the first time just to track the red flags.
