I’ll rate this later today
Later today: TW: dead sister, terminally ill mother. 4,5 stars and the half I’m subtracting is for the “what if I was 17?” And because of the slightly cringe. Also if I didn’t enjoy romance novels so much and the whole religion aspect of this book this would probably get a 4 or 3,5 star rating but the religion part really overshadowed every other storyline for me.
I was not expecting to relate to Sean so much and I wish I would’ve had this book to read when I was younger (without all the sex though please) because 7– 11 year old me really needed it. This is the only book I’ve read where the main character is angry at God and feels like his family betray him when they talk about him or pray or anything like that. I was not expecting this book to get so deep on the religious aspect but I’m glad it did because it gave me something to relate to and to point at when I need to explain how I felt at one point.
This is also the first book where the main character has a younger sister that passed away and it didn’t feel weird or sad to read, it felt like Sean was a lot like me. However I don’t think I’ll be reading any other books with that and I will keep on actively avoiding them.
I don’t think there was any blasphemy in this book so 😅
OH MY GOSH!! Forgot to say but HISTORICAL ROMANCE LOVERS REP!!!
HOLY CRAP THAT WAS HOT!!!! I was pleasantly surprised when I started reading this book and not only were the words on the pages hot but the narrator’s voice who made them come to life was ALSO hot.
Usually I wouldn’t be fine with the characters knowing each other previously if they had such a huge age gap aka 15 years BUT the last time they saw each other the fmc was 7 and then they had no contact with each other until the fmc was 21 and the mmc 36 WHERE the mmc didn’t even recognize the fmc and when he found out she was 21 he felt weird about liking someone that young.
