(Lots of trigger warnings in this book)
The writing was very good. I’m struggling what to rate this because the impeccable writing is whats bringing it up for me. The actual story concept was done as well as it possibly could have been done I’m just not sure I like the concept itself. I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance but if its going to happen therapy needs to happen and it did in this book so that was a check ✅
The two timelines keeps you reading because it flip flops between the two. I didn’t want to put this book down while I was reading but I didn’t have a hug draw to pick it up all the time until halfway probably.

So one of my best friends recommended this book because she loveddd it and while I understand why she did - I definitely didn’t as much
I think for me one of the major things was just how unlikeable all the characters are? Literally besides Deb every single other major character is incredibly unlikeable at one point or another - and that’s especiallyyy true with Marcus
Like truly what an absolute piece of shit
Anyways - overall I’m glad I read this for the most part and saw what my friend meant but also ya definitely not 100% for me

I had some issues with Marcus.
A quick read and not too bad.
