I’ve never read anything better. I was crying, breathing hard, heart was palpitating, thought I was going to throw up. I am so gut wrenchingly distraught it’s not even fathomable. I downloaded the second book as soon as I finished the first.

Wow….
I came into this book with no expectation except an age gap romance but I left with my heart in pieces. I did not know I was picking up a 5 star read in my opinion but I’m so glad I took a chance with this story.
This is such a beautiful story between two unlikely people and hits so much deeper than I ever could have expected. The end is hard to digest, and the behaviors of the characters sucks but is so understandable.
I immediately started the second book because I just needed more. I’ve already recommended these books to multiple people and just…. Wow.

The age gap (18W & 31M) was hard for me to read. She could’ve been 20 with equally high stakes I feel.
