- I could have done without the romance (something I thought I would NEVER say lol)
- I wanted so much to dive more deeply into Aleisha, or I wish that the book would have taken place after
Aiden's death . - Overall, it felt like this book could have been more
- Regardless, I quite enjoyed it. On a critique level, I would rate this a 3.5, and on enjoyed a solid 4, so I averaged.

It's a mix of lighthearted and emotional as we see the two main characters interact in a way that aids each other's coping process, in comparison to the heaviness of their personal lives when it's time to face it at the end of the day.
I'm a sucker for reading about wholesome friendships but what really got me was how this entire reading adventure created the most beautiful bonds between family (blood and found) which pulled on my heart at so many points.
The ending and third act conflict was beautifully done in my opinion with the very real rawness which left me with quotes that are ingrained into my mind and very much still weighs down my heart.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a read that subtly grips you into every aspect of it without having to be over the top.

cover design review: ★★★★☆. the colors, illustration, and title are all very nice. i like the typeface for the author's name and "A Novel", but i don't like that this subtext is black while the title and tagline are white, i think it detracts from the legibility. and of course i hate the tagline and that it even has a tagline, what is this
