I expected to at least like the characters in this book. A nurse and a pilot. I've come to realize that what I like about coho books is how fast you can get through them and how digestible the writing is. The contents of the writing however, they're kinda disturbing. I think that might be another theme in her books. Being categorized as romance is weird
considering there's incest in this one. (I know Miles and Rachel are not BLOOD siblings, but for god's sake, their parents are married. Blood related or not, it doesn't make it any less wrong.)

Tate, our FMC, felt like a side character which is sad since half the book is from her perspective. I think I felt like she was a side character since all we see in the "situation ship" she's in with Miles, all he does is use her.
She knows he's only using her from the beginning and gets mad when he calls her by his ex's name(Miles' ex is also his step sister)

Miles is just an ass. Instead of getting a therapist or solving his problems head on,
he gets involved with his friend's sister?
Honestly he's just the worst. I can't believe people actually consider this guy "book husband" material.

This book is amazing!!!! 

 I've heard alot of people say amazing things about Colleen hoovers books so I thought I'd give one a go. And it did not disappoint!! 

I read the book in 3 sittings because every time I picked it up I just couldn't put it down. 
This whole book is just stunning.

 Miles is such a great written character. The two perspectives of the story added so much more depth as so many books would just tell the story from tates point of view and just say that Miles is "mysterious". Every chapter left me feeling empathetic yet hopeful. 

 It will make you cry tears of sadness and tears of joy.

Started off with Degrassi vibes, continued with spicy teenage/young adult sex scenes, but ended in a surprisingly tender & warm way. Also though, a reminder that therapy would have cut this book in half and make some moments way less painful.

I don’t know how to feel about this book!! It was good but I can’t get over some of the triggers in this book!!  
The fact that they are technically step siblings and the MMC calls the FMC by another woman’s name. Idk

I always have to give a star because any published author deserves to get some points back by just writing. All I have to say is it's beyond bizarre and I hated how some of the chapters were constructed.
