This just isn’t the book for me and that’s okay. Pushed through because I enjoyed the daughter and the migraine representation. Overall the story fell flat for me and felt overwhelming at the same time just with all the trauma and struggles- it felt like too much but at the same time just kept making me feel disconnected from the characters instead of helping me relate and emotionally connect. The format of this book was a bit confusing at times because it switches timelines quite a bit, I wish it had been a little clearer with some kind of chapter heading.

I feel like this book did not give me as much as I expected. The ending was unnecessarily stretched and even though I adored the characters (especially the mother-daughter-relationship and the dynamic between Audre and Shane), the plot somehow seemed incomplete…? 

Yet, this novel is breathtaking, funny and reflective while dealing with the power of love, coping with your past demons and tackling todays racism. Beautifully written and gorgeous characters with hell of a trauma. I especially enjoyed the fragility of Evas and Shanes relationship: a honest reflection of reality. 

All in all: read this book y’all. It’s pretty good.

This book had a stronger start than finish in my opinion. I went in expecting it to be a generally happy romance but it ended up being way more emotionally dark. It was pretty heavy at some points and I’d definitely recommend checking trigger warnings. Overall though I was rooting for the love story and the characters. Eva’s daughter was my favorite and she had me cracking up the whole book! I liked this book but I don’t think it’s for everyone.
