Let me start by saying this book will 💔 and make you 🥺 you get the back and fourth of the now and then so it pieces together the story of why things are the way they in the present… from the beginning you know for sure 1 possibly 2 life altering events happen, so I was stressed out the whole time reading it 😰 I am annoyed with Elliot and Macy thinking if only she could turn back time and avoid both heartbreaks, but then what would have become of her and Elliot if she didn’t see it with her own eyes, especially since he thought it was her? I was satisfied with the ending but my heart is gonna take some time ❤️‍🩹 this has been on my TBR for a while and it was a heavy read for me, I know people say they love it and would go back through and read it again and again but nope this is a 1 and done for me… I don’t think I was made for the whole 2nd chance romance trope.
