I’m feeling a little conflicted on this one.
1. I loved the first 90% of this book. I’m a sucker for an age gap and this is the most well written book I think I’ve read with an age gap this large (31 and 18). It had all the vibes I wanted with this trope and it was close to perfection
2. CHECK. TRIGGER. WARNINGS. The last 10% of this book —— whyyyyyy???? While I didn’t find it to be triggering to me, I don’t think I will be able to recommend this book because I do think it would be found highly triggering to a lot of people.
End result - I read a book that I really liked the vast majority of and it’s actually the best representation of a large age gap romance I think I’ve ever read, but it’s also a book that I cannot recommend.
Because of the last 10%, I gave this 4 stars instead of 5.
I will still definitely read book 2, but please please please check TW before reading this series.

¡Wow! Esta es la primera vez que leo a la autora y quedé fascinada. Hace tiempo que no me quedaba leyendo hasta tarde por un libro pero este lo consiguió.
Tenemos la historia de Salem y Thayer, quienes se conocen porque son vecinos. A medida que la historia avanza vamos viendo como su relación crece.
Me encariñé mucho con Salem y todo lo que quería es que fuera feliz.
La historia la devoré en menos de 24 horas y solo quería seguir leyendo. Admito que el final me sorprendió y que ya quiero arrancar el segundo de esta serie (?).
Una cosa que tomar en cuenta para leer este libro son los trigger warnings pues no son para todos.

Got bored through, but it was a good book. The ending is very emotional.

The author is cavalier in her handling of traumatic topics. She lacks depth and maturity to broach these subjects.
