Oh my Lord, this book is stunning! It tugged at my heartstrings in every way.
It's a beautiful slow burn, showing how their relationship develops from a crush or acquaintance to friends, then to "we're in love but in denial," and finally to the best love ever. I'm so overwhelmed with emotion.
Their personal stories are so relatable. The fear of leaving a secure career for something that brings joy but is more challenging is depicted so well. The way one character deals with the loss of a top-tier career due to injury, along with the depression, insecurities, and fear that come with it, is heartbreaking. His self-doubt, even when everyone tells him he has other talents and choices, was so touching.
The chemistry and tension between the main characters are off the charts. The numerous interruptions they faced were both maddening and thrilling—the edging was real with this one!
I'm gonna miss them so much!
