Ugh this book had me wanting to scream, cry, and laugh all together. This author has such an incredible way of writing trauma and complex characters. I saw it in The Words and The Choice and I can’t wait for the next book to come out! I related so much to Skylar and her relationship with Josh because I’ve been there. I hated those parts but it’s because the manipulation and emotional abuse was written so realistically. I really fucking hope Memphis and Skylar end up together, but I’m excited to see how everything gets tied together in the next book as it seems to coincide with Phoenix and Lennon’s story from The Words. Only rating 4 stars because I really love Memphis and she broke his heart 🥺
