This story is INCREDIBLE. This was such an unexpected delight to read. I just picked it up on a whim, and I have absolutely zero regrets. The humor is top-tier, and the writing is heart-tugging but in a simple manner that's hard to explain but all I know is it's beauitfully done. Loved the mother-daughter relationship between Audre and Eva. The romance is spectacular. I loved the characters and the depth of their backgrounds, all the hardships and demons they continuously and messily try to overcome throughout the book. This is such a gorgeous novel, I can't even put the rest of my thoughts into coherent words.

I have so many words for how much I loved this book. It has taken me awhile to spring some words together because my thoughts were all over the place. This is my first Tia Williams book and my God, this woman has such a way with words. Her pen is breathingly beautiful and she has made a fan out of me.

You have Eva Mercy who has terrible migraines and a pen vicious enough to write a 15 book series while having amazing powerhouse of a daughter, Audre. When she rekindles with her high-school love, Shane, we are taken back to their past and what made them who they are today. This story is so heartbreaking and the relationship dynamics that were put into these characters make them so relatable. It feels very real and gives a realistic view of how children are treated because of parental neglect while putting their personal agendas at the forefront rather than taking care of their children. Every adult in their past that was involved actually deserves jail time. It sheds light to sometimes, rekindling relationships can come just as much as they can go.

There was so much care and thought being done throughout this book and I appreciated it more than anything. Seeing how Shane is battling his addiction while trying to avenge his past and Eva coping with her chronic illness. You see the depiction of how debilitating it is to constantly show up for yourself everyday while trying to heal from your past and the present. It also shows how love can help you realize that you are worthy of being alive and being loved. Eva and Shane are meant to be and I will stand on that.

Now, go read the book (:
