Should definitely come with a trigger warning! Except that, I adored the book, but was less attached to the story/characters than with Saving Noah, but couldn’t tell u why. Once again, Berry’s writting is flawless and totally on point. I love the fact that she was actually a therapist, and love to think she was a bit like Lisa.

Outside of the two main plot points nothing really happened and even those were quickly bypassed. If you like books where people just talk and talk and talk you'll like this.
