 Damn guys, what a fucking book this was.

The way that for years they communicated via writing their books toward each other is INSANE and the way they both KNEW that it was about each other! That is some damn chemistry right there.

"I idealize you in fiction because I idealize you in real like." I'm sorry how can someone say this and expect me to move on with my life?????

Shane and Eva's story is so devastatingly powerful, this book gripped my heart and refused to let go until the end. I was reading this at work and they way that I refused to put it down as soon as I picked it up just shows how WHIPPED I was.

I regret not reading this sooner because it's honestly such a great book!

Towards the end, the epilogue kinda lost me a little. I thought it would be more emotionally intense but it wasn't which isn't a bad thing tbh.

This is a book that I would GLADLY write a report about and it's one that I would love to spend hrs on end talking about.

UGH, IDK HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO PICK UP ANOTHER BOOK EVER AGAIN.

Tia Williams, I will for real read whatever material you write. You have made a fan out of me!

Loved this beyond, beyond. Every word miraculous and just what it needs to be. Such gorgeously drawn characters, from the smallest side folks to the incredible MCs, each with powerful and deeply human challenges, layers, and growth. I adored the audio and can’t wait to have my hands on a physical copy - I will read it again. I loved it more than I have loved anything in a long time and it will stay with me forever.
