“It begins with a tremor, a realization that love happens in the fragile context of our mortality. That love and life occur just beyond the reach of our control. There is only one letter difference between love and lose, and somewhere along the way, for me they became synonymous.”
*cries* This entire quote… I- 😩
I loved the concept of this second chance romance and I loved the complexity of each character. For me, it was so unique! The ANGST!!!! MAGNETISM!!! TENSION!!! This was my first time read a book written by Kennedy Ryan and I absolutely fell in love with her writing style! The research that went into this book is extremely evident. This story felt real, characters felt real, and I could not put this book down!
It was so well written and my emotions were all over the place from the jump. I was frustrated, crying, happy, sad, upset, and wanted to damn near throw the book! I could sympathize with all for the characters and I wanted so badly to see how everything was going to play out for them. The way how grief was written and expressed with each character deserves its own review itself! The sheer amount of detail that was put into this book is ridiculous! This book captivates you! Yasmen has my heart! I’ve never cared more about a character before. I was crying with and for her! Josiah had me staring at the wall lost for words. I’ve learnt from this book. I’ve never experienced what Yasmen and Josiah went through but I was left with life lessons learnt. This book left a lasting impression on my heart. I was left craving more from Kennedy! Thank you for this masterpiece! I went into this book blind and I’m so happy I did.
