This book elicited so many emotions from me while I read it, I was a crying mess by the end of it. Following Eva and Shane as they navigate the present, with their past still haunting them, was such a beautifully raw experience. Seeing where they were at in their lives when they first met, and how that attributed to how intense their seven days together were, and then fast-forwarding to the now and seeing the growth they have made despite their pasts was such an eye-opening experience. Because while there has been so much growth between the both of them, as individuals, they are still held back (to an extent) by their past and their experience with one another. Seeing them break down their walls, after so much time has passed, and allowing one another in was beautiful. I absolutely loved this book.
