Dear Ava is a difficult and emotional book to read. The book starts with Ava in the woods, drunk and drugged. She has a hard life after that. Waking up at her friends house. Going to the police. Everyone thinking she's a snitch. No one believed her story. Knox was always in love with Ava, but she never knew it. He plays it off as if it's nothing. Until they have to work together for a school project. They are perfect for each other, but they are so young and need to learn to grow without each other.

I cried, I laughed, and I smiled while reading this book. It has a few TW, but it's worth reading!

This book was something else. I loved Knox from the start! He was so sweet and careful when it came to Ava. They have an interesting chemistry that’s for sure. I liked them, and I liked the story line. I liked how Ava’s brother had always something to say. But mostly I liked how Ava handled things in the end. She was mature enough to understand everything that was going on and decided what was best for both of them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars for this book.

For some reason, I didn't massively click with this book. I just felt confused the whole way through.

I didn't really connect with either characters, until that last 10%!

I feel like this would've been done better as a second chance romance...

3 or 4/5 ⭐️ I’ll probably change it every other week lmao
Honestly , the beginning of the book felt that a poorly written wattpad story and I had a feeling I was only gonna give it 2 or 3 stars BUT the ending made up for it . I love when the love interest dont get a happily ever after at first and eventually make their way back to each other. Spoilers *** when I found out it was Liam I was rly shocked and was convinced it was Knoxs brother for most of the book . I’m glad Ava got out of there and got custody over Tyler . They both deserved so much . I will say Ava’s mother came straight out of nowhere & was mad Ava just gave her all that money but wtever .The epilogue was so cute but their twins names were so cringy sorta like Persephone????? Cmon

Dear Ava: Ava and Knox relationship

I absolutely loved this book. It’s about Ava and what happened to her at a party and how she trying to remember what happened And also hers and Knox relationship journey.
Some laughs and cries (maybe some sobbing), it’s well written and the main and secondary characters are endearing. Great HEA and wrap up for all characters.

The characters are AMAZING in this book!
I’m in LOVE!
The story didn’t always go in the direction I expected and I loved that!
It had deep emotions and serious situations mixed with great banter to lighten it at times.
There’s plenty of tension and some really hot scenes.
It was filled with very interesting characters that were multi dimensional.
It’s serious and emotional at the core. It had me a little teary eyed at times-In the good way.
I fell hard for so many of the characters! That’s rare.
I am impressed. It exceeded my expectations!
I couldn’t get enough of these amazing characters and this story! I wanted to stay up all night and devour it.
I highly recommend it!
