4.0

This is a hefty read, emotionally, with the main theme of the story being addiction. However, it was handled and written sensitively and realistically by the author. For an almost 600 page book, this felt like way less. It was such an easy read with great pacing, generally great plot, and great characters.

Acouple of gripes would include a few grammatical errors and minor inconsistencies, and also that Cami felt like this idealistic, spoilt 5 year old written by someone who has never met a 5 year old. Also the way that Cal just barged back into his ex's life and just demanded she sell her home as if it didn't matter, bullying her into selling it until she agreed, and then when she had doubts about it he would get pissy and say "I thought this is what you wanted". However, if these things didn't exist then the book wouldn't have been as enjoyable as I found it.

Definitely a rollercoaster of a book. But definitely definitely not for people who may have triggers around addiction, specifically drugs and alcohol.
