That feeling in my chest . . . I was in love with him. And he was going back to Afghanistan tomorrow.

If you're going to read this book, have thirty boxes of tissues on deck at all times. Seriously. I do not even know what to say right now. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up as the best book I read in all of 2024. Nate was all, "Touch her and die," and I was here for itttttttt. Nate's dog tag necklace? I am not okay. Fuck. I also felt for Izzy on a personal level and felt seen, as I know how difficult it can be loving someone engaged in a dangerous profession. 🥺 Finally, you're telling me Fourth Wing's kingdom of Navarre is a nod to Nate's call sign? OMFG. I'm done. 🫠 So many emotions, not enough pages. 😭

Side note: An epilogue where they don't have a child?!?! NO WAY!!! Yarros, you've done it! I'm your superfan!

“He put his arms out and turned slowly, but I didn’t savor the sight of his bare back and torso like I had just a few minutes ago. Now I saw every place he could be hurt. Every vulnerable inch.”

“He wasn’t mine. I wasn’t his. That was the agreement we’d made. And yet he was always mine. I was always his.”

“‘I’m realizing that it doesn’t matter who I date. They’re all just placeholders because I’m waiting for you. Waiting for us.’”

I enjoyed the love story and both main characters. Even if they were a bit cliche, Yarros did a wonderful job writing two unique individuals. The story was a bit unbelievable and dramatic at times, and the main conflict seemed like a misunderstanding that would realistically be resolved between two people who truly cared for one another.
While I did like it, it’s nothing more than a basic love story- which is fine! - but not my favorite thing to read.

Oof. This was really good. The dual POV and timeline gave “One Day” vibes and I was totally here for it. It kept me on the edge of my seat with an ache in my chest from cover to cover. Tears were shed. Will definitely be reading more of Yarros’s contemporary stuff.
