When I requested this book to ARC read via Netgalley it was becoz of 3 things; the cover,the title (it was giving selena gomez lose you to love me) and ofcourse the angsty blurb. I was in the mood to cry and not going to lie I came close at a specific part to tearing up.
It was a beautiful story, very emotional packed and deep. It dealt with serious issues and depressing ones.
13% into the book and I knew what Raine's secret was, all of it. So I was eager to read more and see how it all worked out.
Both of the main characters were tremendously strong and suffered a lot.
I felt so bad for Caleb and the pressure he was under. The writing was so real I felt my sympathy for him increasing further and further as I read. I literally wanted to jump into the book and help him or just tell the guy "it's okay,you can let it out" and give him a hug. However I wished he treated Emma a bit better as she was a wonderful character and I would love to see her story. She deserves an epic love.
This story delivered on the raw emotions,angst, unwavering love & what it means to go back to the person that hurt you because their love forever consumes you and you'll always care about them.
It was apparent Raine & Caleb never fell out of love with each other and their love indeed was so beautiful and so intact. It eventually could withstand it all.
I enjoyed it but one thing I'd say is that I know the miscommunication trope was required but however so, it did make me get a bit tired of it being dragged out. Again though it was a requirement to contribute to the story and overall it was a well written book with solid characters so I can let it slide.
There were plenty of moments and quotes I digitally highlighted as it spoke to me and I resonated with a few parts deeply, which I liked.
