I didn't really feel the relationship or love that Estelle had for wyatt. He was almost non existent and pointless. Oliver annoyed me at times. Also going from the past to present changing povs I thought wasn't the best structure for this story.
Love <3 I'm a sucker for childhood love growing into forever love ^_^
5 star recommendation!!! I LOVED this book. I loved all of the characters-every single one. It's been a while since I have read a new adult romance that hooked me from the first few chapters. The book alternates some of the chapters between the two main characters going from present to past. I'm definitely going to check out this authors other books!
I hated this book so much. No thank you to aaaaaall of this *gestures at the entire book*
DNF at 27%. The development of the relationship we’re supposed to be rooting for—as well as the writing—has all the finesse of entering a room by kicking down the door.
"The one thing he forgot to teach me was how to deal with the pain that squeezed my chest after he broke the ghost of what heart I had left."

Estelle & Oliver
SUBPAR SUMMARY
A year after the tragic and abrupt loss of her fiancé, Estelle (Elle) decides to finally start moving on by moving in with her brother. Almost as soon as she arrives, her first love (and broken heart), Oliver, shows up. He’s one of her brother’s best friends and any feelings they may have had previously have been explicitly secret as her brother would never allow any of his friends to date her. But Oliver seems set to rekindle and win Elle now that he sees a second chance to right his many wrongs.
THOUGHTS
I really didn’t like this one. Don’t get me wrong, it was emotional and some of the quotes you can pull from this book are absolutely beautiful. I just feel bad for Elle. She was strung along and abandoned by Oliver over and over. I know we see his hang-ups, especially concerning his father’s “wisdom”, but he never really fights for her. He just continues to screw around or flirt or let girls hang off him even when he’s actively pursuing her again. The ending was sweet and it’s clear he loves her but the casualness throughout just turned me away from seeing him as loyal.
OVERALL
2.5/5
WOULD I RECOMMEND?
Not really.
WOW!!!!!
