This book. Usually I can’t read slow burns because I get bored but this book was so easy to stay interested in. I fell in love with all of the characters so quickly. Chloe Walsh just has a way of making these characters real to you, probably more real than any other books I’ve read. The whole time I was reading this book I was going back and forth between covering my mouth with shock, sobs, or laughter. Its such an emotional book. My heart breaks for the struggles that Shannon and her siblings go through as well as the struggles Johnny faces and even the small pieces that were revealed of side characters struggles.

This book is the slow burn of all slow burns and it’s so worth it. I will recommend this book to everyone. It’s a book (and series) I will take no criticism on because I think it’s just so beautifully written and the stories of the characters are just how they’re meant to be. Everyone read it!
