Nobody does the traumatic childhood friends to lovers better than Aly Martinez (OTR is a great series)

5 "P.S., P.S.S., P.S.S.S." Stars

Holy freaking EPICNESS with all the damn FEELS!!! I don't even know where to begin......this story was soul shattering, mind-blowing, heart-wrenching with such an emotional journey my body was wrecked by the time I read those two final words "The End".

"Five years, five hundred years-it didn't matter. I want you, Nora. In my life. In my bed. At my side. Any and every way I can have you. I only want you. I don't care if it's messy or complicated. I don't care if you are still working through the shit-hand life dealt you. I don't care how it comes or what it looks like. I only want you."

This story was breathtaking, tragic, suspenseful which had me smiling, crying, laughing and on the edge of my seat chapter after chapter. This book was nothing short of PERFECTION and one that is definitely on my TOP READS list!

"Choices. Everyone makes them. And by some miracle I would never understand, Camden chose me."

This book gave me all the feels. These characters were everything

Loved, loved, loved this one.

Camden, holy sh*t, no one can be more perfect. I just couldn't believe it. He loved her so much. He waited for her. He did everything he could to help her even when he was a twelve year old boy. Like really, how can anyone be so perfect?

Nora had a shit life. That girl, gotta give it to her, how she got through everything was outstanding. Her loyalty, her love for her brother, Thea and Camden was so fierce. She was brave, loyal, smart and just so lovable, how could you not love her?

They met each other when she was eleven and he was twelve. This is their story over fifteen heartwrenching years. Where they go through so much together. They suffer, they lose and they grow. Throughout the journey their love for each other remains their rock.

After all the painful goodbyes they find each other again.

Choices everyone makes them. And I'm feeling damn good about mine ro read this.

(This might be a spoiler but they both were virgins and only ever slept with each other. And if this doesn't deserve five stars I dont know what does.)

I really liked this book.
It starts with a prologue then chapter 1 is set a few years earlier.
Chapter 1 is the Hero and heroine meeting as kids, I think the heroine was 11, the Hero is a little older.
No other woman drama.
Neither are with anyone else over the years they see each other on and off other than the incident mentioned below.




Spoiler.
There is a trigger warning.
No huge description but the heroine is raped.
She is 12.

I liked that the heroine tries to get her head sorted out due to circumstances surrounding the attack.
The Hero was a virgin.
The heroine dated in the first year after the Hero left, thinking he'd abandoned her, this led to her being raped.
