I saw the blurb for this book and knew I had to read it. Real issues dealing with tragedy, drugs, and healing? Yes please.
It did not disappoint. There were a few moments where character emotions seemed to flip too quickly, and I felt certain portrayals of motivations could have been better, but I loved the story overall. It was refreshingly different enough while still hitting upon those things we know and love about romance and healing stories. I also really appreciated all of the themes explored.
Aurora and Nate were also completely enjoyable. I liked Aurora's prickliness -- and I really sympathized with all of the things she was going through. I also really appreciated the other relationships Aurora had in her life and how important they were, too. Nate's story is also neat - and the twists are awesome!
The writing was good, the story great, and the plotting worked out well. A lovely read.
