The book switches from two main character perspectives and two main time frames. It made me feel tense and anxious when it was supposed to. I felt as though I was right alongside the characters. I had no idea where the story was going. At one point, I kind of guessed but I wasn’t entirely right.
This story is heavy. Probably the heaviest I’ve ever read, honestly. I definitely feel as though it took a part of me with it when it ended. I don’t think I’d ever read it again but I wouldn’t have to. This book is going to stay in my heart.
Also,
This book has a lot of sex in it. Not my cup of tea but it wasn’t intolerable.

It may be a small piece at a time, but my past is yours now. All of it. Anything you want to know, I want to tell you. But only if you promise me I can also have your future.

I'm going to clarify something though at makes this only 4 stars. Miles and Tate definitely had a toxic relationship and he manipulated her so many times. She couldn't say no to him at anytime and tells us this multiple times... How is that healthy? Obviously it's not and if this was like It Ends with Us, it would be an even more heartbreaking ending.
Yet no matter how many red flags were thrown, I couldn't and wouldn't stop for rooting for Tate and Miles. These characters were very complex and I really loved the writing pattern. It looked like this: Tate's at present day then Miles 6 years ago. I liked how it worked because then we didn't just get Miles feelings but rather the causes behind his effects. Tate was also a very interesting character because she could recognize who she thought she should be but just couldn't and I love characters who are able to do that.
In the grand scheme of Coho books, I would say this book is in the top 5 so far after Verity with spot numero uno.
