OH MY GOD WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN

This was such a powerful story. I'm about to cry just writing this review. Greif was represented in an amazing way, where there is no true guidebook on dealing with loss.  Both characters have experienced tremendous losses in their lives and being an absolute mess is just a part of healing.

Speaking of the characters, all of them, but especially Juliet and Declan were some of the best-written characters I've read. I swear, I felt what they were feeling. I wanted to give them the biggest hugs.

The romance was also gorgeous. It was a beautiful slow-burn and kind of a will-they-won't-they situation. 

The writing was stunning. It invoked emotion in the reader, which not many books are able to do.

I ate this story up. I read the whole book in less than 48 hours. One of the best books I've read so far this year.
