My heart. This book had me in an emotional chokehold. It was heartbreakingly raw while simultaneously being so beautifully wholesome. Shannon and Johnny’s relationship is one that will always hold a place in my heart. The love and support they provide to one another through everything, good and bad, had me sobbing on more than one occasion. This book will forever live rent free in my heart and head.
