I didn't know much about this book, apart from BookTok really liking it. 

Evelyn retelling her story to Monique was interesting. I spent the whole time reading it switching between liking and disliking Evelyn for her actions in the past. 
Sure it was a different much more dangerous time to be anything but straight, I still hated her for hurting Cecelia over and over again. 
Im glad that in the end she got better and i feel sorry for her, for enduring almost every loss a person can experience.


All in all it was a good story, but I found myself skimming  some section, especially the ones from the present, I just wasn't as interested in Monique's life, as in Evelyn's.

I have nothing but good things to say about this book. It had romance, it had spice, it had suspense, it pulled on the heart strings. By far one of my favorite books I have ever read. 
1/5🌶

3.9*
Thoughts:
The more I thought about the story as a whole, the more my rating dropped lol but If you would’ve asked me while I was reading the story, I would’ve given it a 5*. I feel like the ending was somehow… lackluster. I don’t know why to be honest, probably because I was just not ever invested in Monique as a character. Or maybe I just expected so much.

Connor’s name just reminds me of Connor Murphy but I love the way motherhood was portrayed.
Evelyn was such an interesting character to read. I devoured this book because of her.
I don’t like Celia that much but the nice parts of their relationship was pretty cute.
