I normally don’t enjoy a second chance ,”JUST BE TOGETHER,” trope. I think I was too distracted by my heart being absolutely ripped from my chest to be bothered by it. 
If you like romance novels with very little cringey fluff that leave you blankly staring at the wall after you’ve finished it, this is for you. 
Definitely read the trigger warnings. This book is centered around their trauma and generational trauma with some romance thrown in.

It feels like parts of this book belong in different universes, like not all of the parts of the book belong to the same book if that makes sense. It’s too jarring. And I can usually withstand dark books, but the descriptions of self harm is too much when it feels like there isn’t a clear purpose for them.

I knew this book was going to be a 5 ⭐️ in the first 50 pages. There haven’t been many books I’ve read that the characters felt as human as Shane, Eva, and even Audre. The way their joys, agonies, and everything in between are described is nothing short of perfection. I will admit not a lot of “plot” happens in this book it’s all character development and reflection, but if you love that please read. I’m normally not a second chance romance lover, this one is perfection. 

Second Chance Romance, Trauma, 2 1/2 🔥

I genuinely loved this book. Williams’ writing is witty and charming, the characters felt so real and true with complex layers. They felt like people. 
I loved this take on “the one that got away” and how layered this story felt, getting to see the inner workings of Audre and Lizette was great and added such richness to storytelling.
One of my favourite reads this summer!

An emotional story of growth, perseverance, and a chance to find love again. While many herald this as a brilliant second chance romance, I think that fails to capture what this story pushes to the forefront. After years of estrangement Shane and Eva reunite and have the opportunity to unpack their traumatic pasts. Going back to a drug filled seven day bender, these characters uncover the truth and open themselves to the possibility of more. Although incredibly heavy, Williams portrays the beautiful possibility of what we can overcome.
