This book is honestly infinity stars for me, no words could do this book justice. the only thing wrong with it is it had the audacity to end.
This was a reread and I still sobbed like a baby, this book truly is the definition of an emotional rollercoaster with an ending that is well worth the wait.
For all the laughter, happiness, pain, sadness, shock, and anger I went through, this book will stay with me forever!

NOAH RILEY!!!! Greatest Book Boyfriend EVER!
This was the first book by Meagan Brandy that I have read and I have now read it more times than I can count. Out of all the books I have read this year this is by far my most favorite and I recommend this book the most!
First off, Meagan Freaking Brandy is my favorite author and she NEVER fails to create a masterpiece! Every story she tells entraps you immediately and once you start her books you won’t be able to put it down until you have read from cover to cover! This book had me feeling all the emotions from the start and they only got stronger as the story went on. I’ve never had a story change me until I read this one; I related to this story in so many ways and one part of the book brought me to ugly sobs because I have experienced in my own life and for too many reasons when you read about something so life changing that you personally have experienced it changes everything.
This story took me on one of the wildest rides. What I love most is you get to see all the different relationship Aria has with each of the characters no matter how small they play in the story.
From the very beginning we are introduced to the fabulous five Aria, Cameron, Mason, Brady and Chase. We see the bond between Aria and Mason [her twin] have together, I truly think I have a stronger bond to this story because of the fact that I have twins myself. But back to what I was saying, Mason is the overly protective twin brother and Aria is the fun loving twin sister. I wish Mason wasnt so protective of her but I LOVE how from the moment she meets Noah, Masons protectiveness starts to decrease. He watched the interactions between Noah and Aria and he instinctively knew she was safe with him. The first few chapters I questioned where this book was going to go and part of me knew Chase wasn’t going to be my favorite.
Even though he wasnt the main male character I ABSOLUTELY loved Brady; he had the sweetest brother relationship with platonic flirtation! He proved you could have a platonic relationship with a girl without things getting weird. He brought a whole new meaning to “My Girl” and I loved how even though he knew she needed her space he was only going to let it go so far because he wasn’t willing to let her cut him.
I truly believe you can have a soul mate that is a friend and that was Cameron. Throughout everything Aria experiences Cameron is there for it all even when Aria attempts to keep her at arms length. Like most young people Aria learns what she wants once she gets to college, she learns a lot about herself and what she truly deserves for herself and from others in her life.
Even though a main trope of this book is love triangle I dont feel like that was true. Yes, Aria is confused during part of the book because she doesn’t fully understand her feelings but throughout it was clear who the winner was going to be. I think a better trope is Friends-to-Lovers, we get watch Aria build a friendship completely separate from her brother. Her friendship with Noah is just that HER friendship, it didnt initially involve any of her main friends. What I loved most about their friendship is that regardless of how busy Noah was he constantly made her a priority.
NOAH RILEY!! i haven’t read a book that has a better MMC than Noah Riley. That sweet angel has a literal Heart Of Gold and total mommas boy and Im here for it. I loved watching Noah’s relationship with his mother and the level of love they have for each other was the sweetest things I have ever read. Noah is the epitome of “He falls first, He falls harder”. He met Arianna by one of the best accidents that could happen and he was immediately taken by her. It was love at first sight for him and she had no idea. He was sweet, kind, caring and obsessive over one person ARIA. He was absolute perfection! There wasnt anything about Aria that was too small for him to notice; everything that important to her became important to him. His love language throughout the entire book was Acts of service and It showed through him teaching her to cook. Most people at their age wouldnt take the time to teach someone how to cook simply because they didnt knew. I loved watching it come full circle after Aria’s accident when she was in the hospital she wanted ONE thing to eat and only Noah knew how to make it, HIS potpie!
