can i be honest? this would've probably been a 5 star, but the fact that starbucks and mcdonalds were mentioned multiple times throughout the story was just weird. like did these companies pay for product placement in a book or are we just that ride or die for them?

aside from that, this book really surprised me and i appreciated it for bringing so much more to the story than romance. learning about these characters flaws and traumas gets you rooting for them, and hoping for a better future for them! (emma didn't deserve maddy though, let's be honest.)

also, hand me a found family trope in any story and i am going to actually devour it.

This book made me cry three separate times while reading it. I loved it so much omg. Justina nd Emma's story was beautiful and I love how while it wasn't love at first sight there was still such an immediate connection between these two that made them want to keep going. Cause sometimes that's how it is. SHE LOVED HIM ENOUGH TO LEAVE AND HE LOVED HER ENOUGH TO LET HER. SHE NEEDED TO SEE THOSE LIDS AND HE WASNT GOING TO STOP HER EVEN THOUGH IT HURT
