• Summary: 😲😭💔🥰
• SPOILERS
• I really enjoyed this book. I really felt for Skye and everything she was going through. She’s been through so much trauma (death of a parent, sexual assault, etc.) that she deserves to be happy. When she finally does find someone that makes her happy, it’s not all that it seems to be.
• Burke is obviously going through some stuff too, and I feel for him, and his wife Heather.
• I love the different points of view! I could not get enough of this book, and how everything was connected
• By the end, I was really rooting for Burke and Skye, they both deserve to be happy.
