Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I am way late in getting this book read but better late than never right. Going into this book I was expecting it to be an emotional read and it definitely was. What I wasn't expecting was the steaminess. That was I nice surprise. Kat has had to go through a lot of difficult things in her 18 years of life. We learn about everything she has had to endure throughout the story and it's not pretty. How one person can go through as much as she has and still fight and have some semblance of hope is amazing. She's not perfect and she has her own coping mechanisms which is how she ends up meeting Gavin one night.
Gavin is a swoon worthy hero. He literally is the perfect man. Don't get me wrong he has his own set of flaws but he is perfect where it counts. Neither one of them expect their one night to lead to a deeper connection but it does which in itself has its on set of difficulties because it turns out that Gavin is Kat's teacher. Neither one of them knew this when they hooked up and Kat is legal so the relationship didn't bother me.
There was one scene in particular that literally ripped my heart out. I almost starting balling. That particular scene showed how much Kat had grown and I hurt for her because I just wanted her to be happy. She deserved to have something good in her life. I loved how we got a glimpse 4 years into the future because it ended how I wanted it to end. I really loved this book. There are definite trigger warnings so if you have triggers I would look into those before reading this book.
