WOW, I love this! I knew almost nothing about this book, and the little I had heard seemed like a good enough premise, so I picked it up.

I started the book intending on reading just a chapter or two before shifting to another book for the night, but I could not stop! I kept saying, “just one more chapter” until the whole thing was done.

I love the characters, I love the pacing, I love that we get just this slice of their lives. The way we learn the truth about Bridge/Emmett totally worked for me. The ending totally worked for me.

What a delightful surprise this was!
