ettagriff's review against another edition

I came back to write this review a week or so after finishing the book because I just... can't stop thinking about it. I'm a sucker for forbidden romance, and this was such an interesting twist on age gaps, celebrity romance, and how both of those things affect family dynamics. This novel was also such a fun evolution from the 1D fanfics I read 10+ years ago (wow, that's a scary amount of time). Overall, I'm obsessed with Hayes.

Notable quotes:
"Someone yelled, “that’s her!” And there was a collective gasp and flashes were going off, and I realized in that moment that my life as I knew it was over.""

“I’m too old for this.”
“You keep saying that, but clearly you’re not.”

"Love, she said, was not always perfect, and not exactly how you expected it to be. But when it deceased upon you, there was no controlling it."

"And as inebriated as I was, I was glad I had the wherewithal to retain all that happened that night. Because I knew, in my heart, that we would not last. And because every moment of it was extraordinary."
