⭐️: 5/5

Wow! Just GUTTED, the raw emotion in this book, I absolutely loved every word. Clover and Ever/ Petal and Aiden crashing and clashing and hurting each other even while loving each other so fiercely. The main theme I think is love is hard work, but once you get it figured out, it is so worth it. The emotions this book draws out of you without even meaning to, its just phenomenal writing. I hate to give anything away but if you thrive on angst and all the feels that come with it along with a healthy dose of hotness, GET THIS BOOK!

If you do not like angst, heartbreak, or triangles, this book is not for you. It’s very possible that this author is not for you.
I know when I pick up on of her books that my heart, at the very least, is going to be twisted and bruised and left achy. She does angst and complicated better than nearly anyone else out there. I must admit that I parse her books out. She is not an author that I binge. I gotta have some time to process and breathe.
In some ways this book gave me Carnage vibes, older brothers friend with a difficult childhood completely falls for younger sister at first sight. But he’s not good enough for her. The boys form a band and hit the road. The drinking and sex are too much to resist and a heart is broken. Or maybe both are. The girl meets someone new and the boy must change because he needs her

This book is not as tragic as Carnage but it did twist me up. Both of the guys have pluses and minuses. There are circumstances that sort of shift her focus. I cannot say that I enjoy back and forth in a book but I have known it to happen in life so I can handle it.

I liked it and enjoyed that there was a solid resolution for all the main players. Life is rarely simple and these book shows you complications.

It took a while for me to get into it but it had me in my feels in the end

"To fall in love twice was a beautiful rarity.
To be in love with two men at the same time was a cruel twist of fate."
