You may want to read Kiss the Sky and Hotflower House before you jump into this book. This book is from Lily and Loren's point of view from the events of those books and sheds more light on what was happening in the background/behind the scenes.

"But we’re in Earth-616, love. We’re going to have our happy ending. It just may take us awhile to get there."

My heart just squeezes for LiLo! 🥺🥺 They are so precious and deserve the world. The recovery journey in this book had me blinking back tears. They need to be protected at all costs! 

And now for the love of my life, Connor Richard Cobalt. This man serves. Even as a side character. He serves every single book. I'm fighting the urge to reread Kiss the sky before continuing this series. This man is everything! 😍

Lily Calloway slides into a dark place as allegations spread like wildfire, such as having three-ways with her boyfriend's rock climbing brother. Her personal space. Loren Hale is more self-assured and determined to keep their sex life hidden from their friends, and he assists Lily in the only manner he knows how. But what is the limit of love?

Their lives are documented, scrutinized, and videotaped. Throughout it all, Lily and Loren must contend with opponents they never expected to encounter, demons they don't know how to bury, and obstacles they didn't expect to encounter. Not anytime soon. 

One rumor, in particular, may be too much for them to bear. It will push them to their very limits, and if they don't cling on to each other, someone will drown.

Since this novel covers the time period from Kiss The Sky to Hothouse Flower, 75 percent of the book was repeated, but solely from Lily and Lo's perspective. Everything wasn't really a surprise, and there wasn't really a "wow" moment, thus this book wasn't as as remarkable as I had hoped.
