This one was a slower start for me to get into, this was a weaker follow-up to After We Fall but I did enjoy this book. Theo has severe abandonment and trust issues that impact his self esteem and confidence in relationships. I feel like his struggles are realistically protested. Claire is deeply caring and kind but lacks confidence in herself. These two help each other grow as individuals. Their connection wasn’t as compelling as Margot and Jack’s but Theo and Claire are still a couple you root for.
Graphic: Abandonment
Moderate: Alcoholism
Minor: Child abuse, Physical abuse
