Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for an advanced copy in exchange for a review.
Angelina has a way of making you just want more immediately. I love her writing style and vivid ways I feel like I’m there and watching it play out.
Small town America has been whitewashed so much through our media and I love seeing Angelina showcase that there is so much of small town America that was build and surrounding around other cultures. I would love for us to honor the history and culture of an area and bring it back and honor that like Angelina shows vs pushing it out.
I loved the couple and build to them. The tension and longing was strong. I think what would have made this a 5 ⭐️ is more from Nicky. I think his character backstory and ARC needed a little more flushing out and it would have been perfect.
Overall though still such an amazing story and one that i will definitely add to my shelves when it comes out and I cannot wait for book 3!
CW: sexual content, addiction/ alcoholism, death of a family member, grief, attack by an animal, toxic relationship, ableism, gaslighting and narcissistic abuse
