I feel like you can tell this book was written in (I think) 2015 cause some of the stuff said by the FMC were… questionable. However generally I did enjoy it.

This book gutted me! I felt like the heart break was my own personal heartbreak. With everything it was still amazing. Not my normal type of book but I am happy I gave it a chance
I was really invested in the 1st half of the book but the 2nd half just felt kinda flat to me.
Oh, my broken heart.

I have a love/hate relationship with angst, as in "I hate to love it" like I do. The angst in this book isn't really delved into until the epilogue, but once I got to it, I wasn't sure I'd survive it. The masochist in me doesn't need an HEA, but I also don't necessarily enjoy closure either - especially when it doesn't go as I expected. (Although, in this instance, I'm not sure it could have healthily gone any other way.)
This was one of the best "age-gap taboo's" I've read, and was really very beautiful in parts throughout. I felt a sincerity in Theo's feelings for Chloe, rooted in a genuine friendship and protectiveness. Clearly,it broke my heart.Spoiler
unable to get their lives lined up right, their love required selfless sacrifice in the end, and though it was undoubtedly the best way it could have possibly ended,
Truly, a beautiful examination of grief, friendship, sacrificial love, lust and longing, and a deeper look into the forbidden love taboo of the "older, best friend's dad/younger woman.""I remember everything when it comes to you."
3.5 stars for audio version. I really didn't like either narrator and I think I would have rated this book higher if I enjoyed them more.
I can now say that I FINALLY read the book that everyone has been talking about since this book was released. I TOTALLY GET IT NOW. I'm actually surprised it took me so long to read considering taboo/forbidden romances are my favorite.
I've been a fan of Shanora's work for years since Who He Is was released. Her writing just keeps getting better and better. I mean, I completely and utterly DEVOURED this book. I was so invested into Chloe and Theo's relationship. I loved that Shanora surprised me quite a few times.
While the ending wasn't something I'm used to, it was fitting. Now I'm happy there's now a second book so I can get more of Theo and his "Little Knight". I'm off to go read that now.
