Best moments: Izzy and Nathaniel have a great
connection and their spicy scenes were great!

Worst moments: all the flash backs and flash
forwards made it a bit annoying to keep up with
listening:

Overall, I like the premise. My own relationship is
similar in that we were together and the timing
sucked until later in life, so I related,

Absolutely DEVOURED this book in less than 24 hours. Could not put it down, save for the incredibly emotional moment that had me flinging the book across the table. The MMC and FMC are beautifully, heartbreakingly written. This love story is absolutely epic and worth every heart pounding second. 

Only thing preventing 5 stars is a slightly white-savior tone to the war in Afghanistan.

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.
