Wow, went into this book with very little info expecting a cute rom com. Came out with a rather heavy at times piece of literature. 

(Lots of trigger warnings in this book)

The writing was very good. I’m struggling what to rate this because the impeccable writing is whats bringing it up for me. The actual story concept was done as well as it possibly could have been done I’m just not sure I like the concept itself. I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance but if its going to happen therapy needs to happen and it did in this book so that was a check ✅

The two timelines keeps you reading because it flip flops between the two. I didn’t want to put this book down while I was reading but I didn’t have a hug draw to pick it up all the time until halfway probably.
