this one... HURT. and not in a good way at all lmao.
the idea of this was fantastic - a single mom who lost the love of her life to an accident and is learning to be okay loving someone else again. what a fantastic idea. I even liked how she had dreams with her original love and was trying to find closure but even THAT was ruined. I am actually so fucking mad because this could have been a HEARTBREAKING book - fuck I am so mad I want to rewrite this myself 😂
but, this was so poorly executed it actually is making me shake out of anger. Payton is so awful and she's a walking paradox. I didn't feel bad for her at all... I WANTED to, I was dying to... but everything she did made ZERO sense. she was mad about potentially losing Mason so she pushed him away? like what? there is a way to do this where she could be torturing herself between a ghost and what she wants and this missed the mark so bad I wanted to throw this book across the fucking room.
this is filled with what I hate - almost 400 pages of miscommunication. everyone just grow the fuck up and talk! miscommunication between Payton and Mason, Mason and Chase, Chase and Payton, Payton and fucking everyone in the world. like ffs I am BORED.
and speaking of chase, why is he still there 😂 how was he forgiven after SYS and the shit he pulled? that man shouldn't even be breathing lmao.
can I also just say I wanted to dig my eyes out with a spoon when it came to every chapter ending in some italicized question that one of the main characters would ask themselves?
but what if I want to be the man of her dreams
all I kept seeing was the fuckin depressed Kermit meme

these are not football players they are THEATER KIDS lmao
AND SPEAKING OF CRINGE. what the actual fuck is the nickname "pretty little?" I was actually gagging 🤢🤮 if i was ever called that I would rip the man's tongue from his face. the whole mutual masterbation scene made me want to peel my skin off with a razor. nothing about it was hot, it was awkward as hell and I was skimming through it because I couldn't contain my second hand embarrassment for fictional characters 😂 but the real kicker is when they finally got together and started banging and mason being a football player Payton mentions something fucking DUMB about starting the game off with a kick or whatever and his response "we're headed for the Superbowl baby and watch me bring it home"

never have I ever been more disgusted in my life and I once watched my dog eat her own shit, throw it up, and try to eat it again.
and I didn't even make it through the last few pages. their sex scenes should be an actual crime. like in the court of law and fined.
this was BAD and I am ANGRY about it.
this would have been 1 star but Noah was in this book and I can't do that to my man.
