A quick read - tragic in parts, very cringey in others. Dark themes and not exactly a literary masterpiece, but it kept me hooked enough to continue reading the series.

Massively enjoyed this book. I loved both of the main characters. I found some character traits confusing at the start, but their challenges made so much more sense after the twist was revealed and that made me love the characters at the start more in retrospect too. I didn't see the twist coming at all too, which doesn't happen often! A Colleen Hoover that I'd definitely recommend 🥰

This was the first book that I read in 2024 and I finished it in 3 days. 

It was beautifully written and I felt so many variations of emotions that I was hooked. Can’t wait to read the rest.

This book made me realize things in my life that I knew deep down I just didn't want to admit or be true. It helped me realize it's not all that bad though. It gave me hope.

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire book and couldn’t stop listening. Too bad the last hour gave me the ick to the point that I was physicaly uncomfortable. Not so much the subject matter that was the problem, but rather the way the author dealt with it. Not sure I would recommend this book to anyone.

Listen. I read the reviews before reading this. I read 80 pages the first night, and read the rest today. 

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists! 

I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!
