This book broke me and healed me in the same breath. It’s darker, sharper, and somehow even more intense than the first .. the kind of story that keeps your chest tight the whole time you’re reading.
There’s love here, but it’s not the easy kind. It’s the kind that survives storms, loss, and impossible choices. I went through every emotion possible sadness, hope, anger, and finally that quiet sense of peace when you know the journey was worth it.
And for those who know… yeah, I’m still not over it. But somehow, by the end, my heart felt full again

Honestly the first 60% of this book was just sex and arguments between the main characters and it felt like the plot didn’t come back until 60% and then it just got sad. Events happened too quickly felt real rushed but I did enjoy it definitely cried lots near the end
