This book is literally amazing! I don’t know why I have not read it sooner. The whole story line is fantastic. Dean Holder is one special character. Hope and Sky are so incredibly strong. It made me cry. Everyone in their situation needs someone like Dean Holder to support them!

First I love CH, and I envy her because I could only dream of being published and having the success she has.
Second, this book was intense.
Third, the only thing I hated was the use of the word “slut” in reference to friendship. Idk I’ve never been a fan of that.
Anyway, at first I wasn’t sure I was going to like the book because it started off wonky. I strongly disliked the slut/whore mean girl cliché. That was enough for me to want to not read it but I’m I committed because I’m “live” CH.
Yes it was overly dramatic but it shocked me every time. She took risks going overboard and for me it worked, because she did it well.
I really enjoyed the connection between Holder and Sky. Amazing writing. The build up, the tension, the panic attack, the couple-like aspects, the fact that they forced themselves to hold off on the word I love you.
CH also does an amazing thing with all of the characters she writes, which is that she gives them a unique individualized thing. In her book Slammed, the brother had backwards day. In Ugly Love Tate has a funny inside voice ie. favorite words or the OJ scene. This book it was the I Live You thing, interesting. She has great character development. So in essence the story could be subpar but her characters are always amazing.
Love this book, not give it five stars because the beginning annoyed me and the ending was too emotional and dragged on for too long. That’s just me though.
CH, keep up the good work.
