3.0

A solid 3.5 for me!

This was a good read but I feel like it actually NEEDED to be longer. The authors note said Tally would work your nerves and the TWs explain she is actively healing but I don’t feel like I got enough explanation as to why. I understand the abandonment issues with her mom but it has some holes. How did we go from doting mom taking our kid to the library every week, to disappearing, to sending this weird letter years later? Also HOW did this thing with Lucas happen? If it’s such a major part of her trauma and rules, why didn’t we hear more about it.

I loved Pierre! He was solid from the beginning. I love how he took care of Tally, even how he cared for Celeste and his family. He just seemed like such a nice and humble man. Like a for real grown man, the kind we should marry in real life! I appreciate that he was willing to love Tally through her trauma and his patience is unmatched. Even when he lost his patience a time or two he still came through!

Overall this was a good quick read but I definitely think it needed more background details throughout.
