I don’t know how to express my feeling about this book. I don’t really like hearing a lot about books beforehand so as to not have preconceived thoughts about it. While I enjoyed the book, it didn’t live up to everything that I had heard about it. This is going to have spoilers so read at your own risk. <SPOILER> Eva and Shane’s relationship was toxic from the jump and is still toxic at the end of the book. While I love a good friends to lovers trope, this was not it for me. I did enjoy the representation of Eva having an invisible disability. I’m happy that by the end of the book that she opened up to everyone and began to live in her truth. I hoped to hear that she has finally opened up to Audre about her mother and told her the truth instead of shielding her from reality. Which probably would have happened after her trip back home. Eva and Shane were both fighting a lot of demons. They both have a lot of work before I feel like they would be able to be with each other without hurting each other.
