This book is awesome! Alice is super manipulative and the hold she has on Harvey is heartbreaking. Definitely pick this up if you’re looking for a good contemporary story about a toxic relationship based around terminal illness. I loved how the author made these characters seem so realistic. Their relationship was not perfect, and they definitely struggled through real life issues. I hated Alice throughout the majority of this book, but I understood her reasoning and motivations.
I found the alternating chapters between past and present to be a little annoying. I was really hoping that Harvey would have called it off with Alice for good at the end because I felt like she was still playing games and manipulating him. Overall, this was a very entertaining read and I would definitely recommend.
