3 or 4/5 ⭐️ I’ll probably change it every other week lmao
Honestly , the beginning of the book felt that a poorly written wattpad story and I had a feeling I was only gonna give it 2 or 3 stars BUT the ending made up for it . I love when the love interest dont get a happily ever after at first and eventually make their way back to each other. Spoilers *** when I found out it was Liam I was rly shocked and was convinced it was Knoxs brother for most of the book . I’m glad Ava got out of there and got custody over Tyler . They both deserved so much . I will say Ava’s mother came straight out of nowhere & was mad Ava just gave her all that money but wtever .The epilogue was so cute but their twins names were so cringy sorta like Persephone????? Cmon

Dear Ava: Ava and Knox relationship

I absolutely loved this book. It’s about Ava and what happened to her at a party and how she trying to remember what happened And also hers and Knox relationship journey.
Some laughs and cries (maybe some sobbing), it’s well written and the main and secondary characters are endearing. Great HEA and wrap up for all characters.

The characters are AMAZING in this book!
I’m in LOVE!
The story didn’t always go in the direction I expected and I loved that!
It had deep emotions and serious situations mixed with great banter to lighten it at times.
There’s plenty of tension and some really hot scenes.
It was filled with very interesting characters that were multi dimensional.
It’s serious and emotional at the core. It had me a little teary eyed at times-In the good way.
I fell hard for so many of the characters! That’s rare.
I am impressed. It exceeded my expectations!
I couldn’t get enough of these amazing characters and this story! I wanted to stay up all night and devour it.
I highly recommend it!

i rly enjoyed them rediscovering each other though i wish there was more with it and not just in the last chapter, and the discussion of rape was a little uncomfy. there were a lot of ppl who were just ok with their friends making crude comments and didn’t say anything which i didn’t like at all, although i know most of it was there intentionally for plot points

Definitivamente disfruté este.
Amé a los gemelos Greyson indistintamente: me declaro culpable; y Wyatt también se ganó su puesto en mi corazón.

El desenlace por un momento me dejó WTF!? WHY!?!?! pero finalmente valió la pena. ❤

Sometimes the loneliest place on earth is in the midst of a crowd. But that’s okay. I’m here and that means something.

This follows Ava who has a brother she needs to keep an eye on and care for. Abandoned by her mother at a young age and always felt like a second choice. After a high school party that changed everything she is back eight months later with a new look and attitude face to face with the voices who call her names and a liar. Will the truth of that night be revealed? 

Loved this new adult stand-alone. It is an emotional read that deals with some heavy topics so be mindful going in. Ava comes from a broken home, she has had to mature young to take care of her special needs brother and will do anything for him. She is strong, resilient and has a point to prove. I loved Ava’s vibe. Knox is the shark and quarterback of the school, he may look rich and family put together on the outside but once you get to know him he is dealing with a lot of guilt but also taking on responsibility. The things this man did in the background for her and helping her without her knowing was beautiful. He may be hiding his feelings but towards her, he has his heart on his sleeve. Enjoyed the storyline, plot and characters. Recommend if you want something more emotional and deep and darker themes. 

Audiobook was fantastic love Savannah’s and Zachary’s work.
