- This is so much more than a second chance romance book. I cannot believe that I almost didn’t read it because of the real people on the cover.
- The chronic illness representation and the portrayal of generational curses felt authentic.
- The characters felt like real people because they were imperfect and were called out in their ish. I appreciated that because of their imperfections that this wasn’t a cookie cutter love story. It made the story feel like a retelling of something that happened.
- The book was surprisingly funny so it made it really entertaining.
- The only part that I didn’t like was all of the pop culture references. Some are fine but I feel like there was a lot which really dates a book.
- I also think that they were more in “lust” than “love” when they were teenagers but it’s important for their full dramatic, complicated, beautiful, and intense love story.

it also has the perfect will they won't they with some plot points I didn't expect.
I would definitely read it again. the pacing is a bit on the slower side but the beautiful writing makes me want to stay in the novel even longer! you will not regret reading this.
