This felt like two separate books that didn’t fully connect. Though I could see some of the developments coming, it felt like the book was trying to do too many things and thus wasn’t realistic to me. There were some scenes I definitely enjoyed, but overall not a favorite.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Child abuse, Death, Infidelity, Physical abuse, and Grief

Minor: Panic attacks/disorders

Death/Grief:

Eve loses her best friend due to a car accident. The accident is not on page or witnessed by Eve, but Eve has to go and identify the body and help arrange the funeral, and the grief is acutely on page.

Abuse:

The MMC experienced physical abuse as a child and tells the FMC (Eve) about it, but it isn’t on page.

Panic attacks:

The MMC experiences a panic attack on page, but it is not in his POV, so it is not a graphic depiction.

Infidelity:

10 years ago, one of the main characters cheated on his girlfriend while she was out of town.
