I wanted to love this, but I hated the character Yara so so much that every time the story was from her point of view I would get pissed off all over again. But I guess that’s a well written novel because I REALLY disliked her. Lol.

TARRYN IS BACK IN HER ROMANCE GENRE ROOTS WITH THIS BOOK! This book is more on the romantic side although I miss Tarryn delivering a crazy, whirlwind and jaw dropping narratives such as with Marrow, Mudvein and F*ck Love. You can still feel Tarryn's very touch in this book. There is just something in a book that screams, TARRYN!!!
Also, I really love it when Tarryn includes riddle-ish things in her books. Some sort of a puzzle that you need to solve that feels as if it is such an important thing in the ending. YA FEEL ME??? Do you all remember the fcking BLUE CRAYON in F*ck Love?? That thing drove me mad. There are also a lot in Never, Never that I don't really want to talk about as most of it doesn't make sense at all. Then in AWKAP, this number 49 scrawled in a paper got me so confused and thinking so hard, I think a nerve popped. *sighs* I think this is Tarryn's signature. Making us think so hard and in the end fucks us all up.
The story of Yara and David, I would say is very much relatable. I kind of relate with Yara's character at some point. I love David so much. He's just a very lovable character and who doesn't love a musician, eh? The plot is a 60-40 for me. I was waiting for a big surprise or a twist from Tarryn but yeah knowing her, she did this to play with us because she knew we were expecting it. Over all, it was a good read!

This book was equal parts frustrating and amazing. I had to have a two day hiatus from all that was going on. David made me believe in love. Yara made me believe love was dead. Together they created a narrative that had so many twists and turns you didn't know what was going to happen in the next chapter. Tarry brought these two characters to life and it is probably one of my favourites, even if you have to take a break because you want to punch the lead in her face a few times.
If you believe in love you need this book.
If you don't believe in love you need this book.
Yara or David will change your mind. Or maybe both will.

Tarryns best work yet
Wow. That was just... heartbreakingly beautiful? While reading this book I think I took a dive into every human emotion you can think of and felt them so strongly. I really just am a a loss for words with how to review this because it was that good.
"I accumulate wrongs. There's never one big thing. One big thing could happen and I'd move right past it like it didn't. But those little wrongs, my god, I collect those."

This book started off slow for me. I much preferred the last third or half of the book. Yara has issues, obviously, but I somewhat felt like the source of her issues was unnecessary if that makes any sense. I say that, but I'm sure if the source of her issues was never mentioned I would probably be here saying why wasnt the source ever explained.
Unfortunately I wasn't invested in these character so thats why this wasn't a LOVE, but it's definitely a good book. The two main characters reminded me of another book, not the plot just the characters. So I was having a hard time picturing the story in my head. I can relate to the pushing someone away or good things away because you dont think you deserve them or you think you'll ruin things and I think thats something a lot of people can relate to.
I think this is a solid read.

I definitely have a new favorite Fisher book. The emotion in this book is so raw and so real. Yara and David. Sigh.
