WOW, THIS BOOK! I thoroughly enjoyed Amber Smith’s other book “The Way I Used to Be” but I think I enjoyed this one even more. It made me cry so many tears. Tears of frustration, sadness, happiness, UGH. I JUST HAD SO MANY EMOTIONS. Amber Smith has a way of writing characters that makes you feel like you know these characters personally and are following them through the hardships in their life. This book will definitely pull at your heart strings and you won’t want to put it down.

3.5/5
it was between okay and good. is there a word for that? im not sure but it was enticing at some points, boring at others, and brooke is literally infuriating. i definitely relate to her irrational anger and how she takes it out on the people around her and becomes destructive. im actually in therapy for that among other things. the end did feel incomplete to me but the author tried to make it feel and sound complete. it was too nicely tied up in like 40/50 pages after 200 pages of build up and it was no real end. idk just not a fan of how it was written to make it seem like brooke had figured everything out over night and all her problems disappeared.
