The first half of the book had me in a chokehold, I could not stop reading. I absolutely love TJR’s signature writing move of introducing the backstory to make you fall in love (or despise) the characters.

In the beginning I thought that Mick and June’s love was so beautiful, that I hoped one of them would die rather than leave each other, for love that pure to exist

. It is ultimately a story about love and family, but it is sometimes painful how much love can hurt. great read.

it was great
i'd say the flaws weren't the main focus of the book but their problems and (past) mistakes definitely were
