It has genuinely taken me almost a full month to recover from reading this book. And I still think about it constantly. I have a feeling it will take up precious space in my brain for a long time to come and that's okay.
There were so many things I was not expecting going into this book. First of all, the entire premise is something I haven’t seen before and I can appreciate that because I love a unique story. The focus on each of their feelings about life and death and the ability of, what I am guessing is a lot of readers, to identify with one of the three main characters and their mental health struggles feels important. Dark… but important.
There was really only one thing I didn’t like that much about this book and that was the odd voyeuristic nature that was Harlow Sanctum and it’s weird ideals around therapy (like rooming two people together who were totally going to just end up banging).
It took a little bit of time but I ended up loving their relationship and how the three of them supported and kept each other accountable for their actions. The love shared between this group was something I will think about for a long time.
I didn’t expect to be near sobbing at the very end of the book. He deserved the world and every time I think of him now my heart aches a little. 😔
Respectfully… fuck you, K. M. Moronova.
You kinda broke my heart and my therapy bill is on you!
Currently sobbing just thinking about Liam… 😭
Tropes:
Enemies to Lovers
Forced Proximity
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
