There are no words to express how this book made me feel. It was such a powerful journey. The emotional story of grief and loss and finding love again in the most unexpected places. The characters felt real and the they were ones you really were rooting for.


I loved this book. Beautiful story, great characters, great narrators.
I was hooked throughout the book and I think it was beautifully written. I don’t have much else to say 😅

The only thing that bothered me a little bit, was when the narrators had to do each other’s lines, they both did the other’s voice deeper, which was a bit confusing to me. They should have planned beforehand who had the dark voice and who had the lighter voice. 😂 

Tropes and stuff:
❤️MM romance
❤️Bi-awakening
❤️Love after loss
❤️Dislike to love
❤️Healing together
❤️Found family
🌶️Open door spice

"He might’ve had a piece of my heart but you own it."

3.5 ⭐️
Thoroughly enjoyed this one

This is one of the most heartfelt books I've ever had the privilege to read (listen to).
I listened all in one sitting and teared up many times.
