 who greenlit this? terrible writing and plot. clunky and just awful
glorified abusive and controlling relationships and didn't even blink an eye at it. (except when it sorta came from a character we weren't supposed to like. when /he/ shattered a glass near her, it's all oh no- are you in an abusive relationship? I don't like how he's treating you. but when it's ✨️Ryan ✨️ who does it, it's literally never mentioned again?!) keeps jumping from hot to cold and no transitions at all.
also sometimes felt like some scenes were set up to be emotionally charged for no reason/ so they can sleep together. like he talks about this traumatic event in his life that he's literally bottled up for over a decade... which IMMEDIATELY leads to them sleeping together and they can't keep each other's hands off of each other? Kate, are you okay? who hurt you? (

"It made you wish it was you she was smiling at. That you were the one she needed to light up her entire soul from the inside out."

5+++++++ Stars!

I have no words right now so I will have to come back to this and write a review later once I can get all of my emotions in check. This book had me feeling so many things. Loved it and hated it at the same time.


I had a sobbing fest.. this was a heartwrenching story. I enjoyed it :)

This right here is the very reason why I read: To fall for characters hook, line and sinker, and live with them through a story I'm not likely to ever forget. Not only did it make me ache in so many different ways, it also made me laugh and it made me think. This novel is the gem that every avid reader constantly searches for!

If it weren’t for all of the “she shivered” and the 69 mutters, this would have been a solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ok seriously if I could I would give this book way more than just 5 stars! To say I am head over heels in love with this entire story is a serious understatement!

I am not going to summarize or tell you anything about the story I will just plainly state that this is a book that I can read over & over again & it still makes me laugh AND cry every single time.

IT IS DEFINITELY A MUST READ!!!!!!!

BORING!
