If the storyline went on forever, I would 1000% continue to read every day. I loved their love and I'm happy that they were able to bond over their shared grief which over time, helped flourish their relationship. The quote, "Imagine that Feyi, we're alive and I love you." will stay with me forever. <3

Spicy. Messy. But also filled with depth and warmth. And I realized that romance is not the genre for me! If I can't fully enjoy one as well written as this, I think I'll stop trying. But if you like romance, I think this is a good one!

Truly one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. I don't have adequate words to describe how much I love this book. It's easily one of my all-time favorites now. Please pick it up.
