I honestly might need several business days to process this book. From the cover and the blurb, you would never expect the depth and beauty that is this story. Ro and Freddy just .. gosh. I don't have the words. Peyton's writing is so well done. The story is captivating and moves along at a good pace. None of it feels like filler. The petty person in me would have absolutely loved to see Tyler and Carmen get their comeuppance somewhere in the story, but I'll happily settle for him getting roughed up by Freddy several times.
The vulnerability from Ro right out of the gate is so endearing. It made me root for her and be so fiercely protective of her. My heart hurt for her and raged at her stupid narcissistic piece of poo boyfriend. Freddy has my whole heart. That boy went through more in a 4 year span than anyone should. I'll add his dad to the list of people I need to see get the "find out" portion of FA&FO. I love how their relationship helped both of them. Ro got more confident and steady in her self talk. So did Freddy to be fair, but his journey was more a realization that he had more to offer than his body, and that his learning disorders did not make him stupid. I could literally go on and on. Suffice to say that I love this freaking book!
