So many thoughts warring for first place on this one. Probably the first thing I want to say about this book - don't let that bright and happy looking cover fool you. This book is a why choose with some taboo thrown in there (step-brother, though they didn't grow up together). And it also deals with some heavy topics. I don't want to put them here because one is a spoiler, but check the content warnings on the author's website if you're worried about what they are.
Ok, on to another warring thought. This is definitely a romance, but this is the first book in a series and the majority of it is giving the backstory of Greedy, Levi, and Hunter. I feel so hard for Greedy. That man has been heartbroken, yet dedicated to Hunter even when she's been on the other side of the world and not talking to him. And Levi, ugh. I'm so glad they found a way to take care of him so he didn't have to stay with his mom. Hunter, she is definitely going through it. Her struggles with her mental health are so real in this book, but Abby Millsaps said this is just a lead up. So I don't know how I'm going to handle book two. But I do love how we get their whole story in both dual timelines and multiple POVs.
Now, for the romance aspect. This is a slow burn for sure, but it hurts so good. That last scene, with all three? It's so hot. Which makes me excited for the other books, because I feel like we're going to see more of that (I hope) in the rest of the series.
The end of this book is definitely a cliffhanger. Oh man do I feel for Greedy. I don't know how he's going to deal with this new knowledge or how the new character is going to play into this story fully. So I'm glad I read this after the full series is out so that I don't have to wait to start So Real!
