I was both sad & angry with this one. I wanted so bad for this to be my first 5 star of 2024 based on the plot alone. 

Loved majority of the writing but it left me smh. 
I felt like Emma knew her choice immediately and was too childish to simply ask for/give closure to Jesse. The author almost made a villain of Jesse & an angel of Sam randomly to make the choice more obvious.
There were several times I wanted to DNF because it was predictable. I held out hope to be disappointed.

 Other than my dislike for the direction she took the story in, TJR still gave me the love bug.
