The entire book I’m thinking one thing and all of a sudden Rebecca Yarros pulls a different thing and I’m BAWLING. There’s literally no other word to describe it. I’m equally disappointed and satisfied with the turn of events.

This was probably one of the most emotional books I’ve ever read. It absolutely gutted me. I should have known it was going to rip my heart out when I got through the first 38 pages. It’s such an emotional story. But so good.

Loved this story of Ella & Beckett, the love they developed as writing each other while he was in Special Ops. There is quite a bit of tragedy in both of their lives & throughout the story. But the premise, the letters, & what builds brings it all together.

It isn't Ella or Beckett or even Maisie that makes me cry. Colt absolutely breaks me. The way he treated, talked to, talked about his sister was truly magnificent. 


It bothers me that this book is everywhere rigtht now and everyone is recommending it, saying it's amazing and it will break it you, but not once has anyone said it contains graphic sex scenes.
