Eden and Josh truly are made for each other. They have such great banter, conversations, and challenges they have to face together. Will Eden be able to succeed and grow when the trial takes place? Will Kevin receive the punishment he deserves? Lastly, will Josh be able to make amends with his father and stand up for what he believes and feels?

This story follows the aftermath of a survivor of childhood SA exploring college and attempting to cope with life. It is heavy but profound and I was deeply moved by its story and the way it captures how hard recovery can be.

I didn’t think the last chapter held enough weight to be the ending, but otherwise I loved this even more than the first book!

I adore Eden and Josh!!! Their love story put me on an intense roller coaster, I had many moments where I was giggling and kicking my feet, other moments where I was enraged and crying.  There was a moment near the end where I was getting worried and getting my heart ripped out, but the end was so beautiful!! I loved that
there was a moment where they distanced themselves and learned to heal on their own, only then could they come together and truly be a healthy relationship.
  A great, beautiful conclusion to the first book and after all they endured!
