El libro trata temas que me tocan muy de cerca, entonces me he sentido muy identificada, sobretodo al inicio del libro. He llorado bastante xq me ha removido sentimientos AJJAJAJAJ.
Stevie como prota pues no me convence, me siento muy identificada con ella en ciertos aspectos, pero siento que es demasiado manipulable y se deja llevar por las cosas externas que le pasan a los dos protagonistan masculinos y que le terminan afectando a ella. En vez de sentarse un minuto a pensar en sus cosas y en como se siente, simplemente se deja llevar y esto parece el puto tira y afloja entre los dos tíos y esta mujer en medio.
Hay mucho miscommunication xq repito NO SE PARAN NI UN PUTO SEGUNDO A PENSAR Y HABLAR. Este aspecto no me gusta nada del libro sobretodo en el third act breakup.
Algo que si que me gusta es que es realista. Por mucho que estrese viendolo desde fuera, viviendolo no es una situación nada fácil, prefiero arrancarme todos los pelos del cuerpo uno a uno antes que vivir su situación. Además que la chavala se ve que no lo hace a malas pero termina haciendose a ella misma daño, además de hacerle daño a otras dos personas.
En general el libro está bien, me apetecía leer, entretenido, peor eso sí, estresa mucho.

EVERRETT ES PARA MATARTE. Eres subnormal cariño, como que te vas sin decir nada OTRA VEZ Y MIENTRAS ELLA ESTÁ EMBARAZADA. Vale que estabas yendo a rehab, muy bine, me encanta. PERO XQ TE VAS SIN DECIR NADA IMBECIL. Luego te quejas de que se cabrea contigo y te insulta y de todo, pues normal cielo.
Aiden, ella no te ha elegido, te puedes venir conmigo JAJJAJAJAJ. Aiden es el mejor personaje de todo el libro, es puto maravilloso y se ha ganado el cielo. Es que nadie, NADIE, haría por alguien lo que él ha hecho por ella, o sea está embarazada del bebé del hijo del tío x el que ella no puede estar contigo, además se ha besado con él y se lo ha chuscao mientras estabais conociendoos y siendo novios, justo cuando estabas a punto de pedirle matrimonio, y tu la cuidas, te quedas con ella y la apoyas a pesar de todo. Más tíos como Aiden en el mundo, aunque Aiden cielo tente un poco de respeto plis.
Lloré al final cuando me enteré de que Aiden se iba a casar, y me he identificado un montón con ella xq tío duelebasto, aunque ya estés con otra persona, ver a una persona que sigues queriendo estar con otra no es lindo.

She’s so dumb that it made me call my friend at 12 AM to sob over how dumb she is
Loved this!
This book was so amazing! I highly recommend reading, I was up way too late to finish it! It broke my heart and sewed it back together.

I was very excited to start this book because I usually really like the love triangle trope. It did start of very nice and I immediately thought I was sure of who I wanted Stevie to end up with, Everett seemed almost too good to be true, which made the fact that he was turned into a complete douchebag really hard to accept. I just didn’t understand why he would continuously leave Stevie alone without saying a word, breaking her heart every single goddamn time. I understand his trauma of the death of his brother is one reason why he might’ve fallen into that whole of alcohol etc. but that seriously doesn’t excuse why he would leave her over and over again. He knows that she’s probably the only person that is truly able to help and support her, so if he really loves her, why does he not rely on that? Why did he never tell her what was going on? Why did he never go to her for help, because he knew damn well that she would’ve done everything and more for him.
What also really freaking annoyed me was how incredibly naive Stevie was. It was honestly so annoying to the point that I would literally want to slam my head against the wall. Like why tf did she ALWAYS immediately take Everett back after he’d left her alone? Especially when she was pregnant? She never looked after herself and always made excuses as to why Everett was behaving that way. And somehow the excuses he gave her were always immediately enough for her to take him back. She never learned and continuously made the wrong choices in my opinion. WHat makes this even worse is that meanwhile of getting her heart broken from Everett and still always taking him back, she also broke Aiden’s heart over and over again. Once Everett left her, Aiden was suddenly good enough again and that made me soooo mad oh my god. It was the most unfair way to behave and she knew that she wasn’t doing Aiden any good with the things she did and the choices she made, yet she still always got back to him, giving him hopes she might finally settle on him.
Sure, you could say Aiden was also naive of believing she was ever going to choose him over Everett, but Stevie was the one who at the end would have to make the decision. And she decided to jump back and forth between the two more than was really needed. It just became unnecessary and boring with the time.
I understand that’s what the whole love triangle trope is kind of about, but for my taste, the book just was longer than it needed to be.
While I’m writing this I am starting to question my rating on this book. Two stars would be very harsh though, because even though I was mostly annoyed and mad during more than half of the length of this book, I did enjoy reading it and 400 pages were gone sooner than I thought.
I’m still upset about her final choice and even more upset that we never really got a final proper goodbye between Stevie and Aiden. I would’ve loved for them to meet in the epilogue again.

I stopped my current read when I saw that this came out early. I don’t know what it is about this author, but when I start her books at night, I’m like sleep who? We don’t know her.
I love me a good love triangle. I know it’s not everyone’s jam but between that and the rollercoaster of hella angst, my eyeballs were glued to this story and my emotions were all over the place. There’s some stellar storytelling in here. I really, really, really enjoyed it.

This review is 100% my own opinion and contains spoilers!
Book trigger warnings of substance addiction, abuse, mention of a miscarriage, death, a car accident, grief. Please check the reviews before reading this book in case I missed any.
I’m disappointed to say that I didn’t really like this book…at all? If I’m being honest, it really frustrated me and towards the end I was just reading it to finish it.
The writing wasn’t bad but towards the end, I found it jumped about quite a bit, e.g. jumping forward in scenes and in time. Some of the quotes were nice at the time of reading but didn’t really stand out as impactful upon finishing the book. I did enjoy the start of this book a lot more but my enjoyment seemed to drop around the 50% mark.
I was disappointed that Stevie ended up with Everett at the end of the book. I personally felt he treated her really poorly and was always running away at the times she needed him most, then came running back (with limited apologies?) and expected to slip back into her life without any issues? And I personally felt a lot of his explanations for disappearing were sort of shifting the blame onto Stevie or someone else? If I’m honest, I personally found Stevie and Everett’s relationship very toxic and controlling. Also I felt like the pregnancy topic was brought in to cement the ending where Stevie and Everett end up together. I felt it was very out of the blue and “convenient” in the sense of evidence that Stevie and Everett “should” end up together.
I didn’t really like Stevie as a main character. I felt she was pretty one dimensional and bland. As the book progressed, I really started to dislike Everett and felt like Stevie jumped back and forwards between Everett and Aiden so much.
Aiden definitely deserved so much better and I felt like Stevie and Everett didn’t treat him fairly at all. He was a much more interesting character but I felt he was brushed to the side every time Everett turned up again.
Also the miscommunication in this book was so frustrating. If the characters had of just talked to each other instead of running off and not speaking for months, then turning up at the most inconvenient times then the book would have been more tolerable. I also didn’t like the two nicknames for Stevie - “Clover” and “Petal”, but this is just a personal preference. I’m not a big fan of these sort of nicknames!
The other characters were just sort of there when we needed them for the story? I liked Adela as a character and Hendrix too but we didn’t really get to see too much of them. I didn’t really care for the whole band/music part of the plot - if I’m honest, it kind of bored me.
I could go on about my feelings on this book but if I’m honest, I really don’t want to focus anymore on it. I would rather move on to more enjoyable books.
In summary, I didn’t like this book and felt that the relationships were pretty toxic and problematic. Aiden deserved so much better and I didn’t care for Stevie and Everett’s relationship as the book progressed. I am glad I read this as it was on my TBR for a while but I won’t be rereading it as it frustrated me so much. On to more enjoyable books!

I had to think on this for a bit. I couldn't stop reading and I was PISSED while reading. I swear I turned to my husband every other page and filled him in on what was happening and begged for his thoughts. Without spoilers, this didn't go my way, but it deserves a solid 4 for the chokehold it puts on you.
This was the first love triangle that i read. I enjoyed it but I didn’t like the ending. I didn’t like who the heroine ended with
5++ Stars!
This is a love story of impossible choices. How do you choose between two men and you're in love with both of them???!! This book broke my heart into a million tiny pieces. Not all love stories are pretty and some get downright ugly before you can get your HEA. This is one of those! Was I happy with the outcome of this book? Absolutely NOT! But let me tell you all something... books like this are why I. LOVE. READING. ROMANCE. I cried, I kicked and screamed and my poor heart got the beating of a lifetime and I absolutely loved it!
