As predicted, this book completely broke me and put me back together again. It doesn’t appear that way though—the first 50% was easy breezy compared to what was coming…and I was simply not prepare for it. My stomach hurt from the immense pain that this book gave me. How Grip and Bristol are fictional will never not make sense to me…their love transcends these pages and is unlike anything I’ve really read before. The fact that they go through some of the realest and heaviest things and still manage to make it out stronger is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read about.
