πŸ’¬ Well this was an emotional roller coaster. Like how dare this book rip my heart out of my chest and then put it back together like that😭😭. It might take me a minute, I'm still processing this and I'm sorta at a loss for words on how to describe what I loved about it.

Ok, I clearly loved this story πŸ₯Ή it's incredibly emotional and swoony and angsty. (My FAVESSSSS) I thought I was going to make it out alive without crying and then the backpack happened 😭 so you probably need tissues to read this. 

Idk this is exactly the kind of book I go feral for. I just can't even describe the perfection that is Leo. He's just so sweet and kind and 😩. All the green flags. Emotionally mature and an old soul who has already dealt with more than his fair share of heartache. He's what book boyfriend are made of. 

And Darby, I loved her so much. Everything last heartbreaking thing went through and came out stronger on the other side. 

I loved how the story jumped back in time to follow the start of their relationship, and then jump back to the present as they found their way back to each other. Like this writing really just sucked me in and had me in a choke hold. Their chemistry was SO GOOD. The spice is  🀌🏼I just can't recommend it enoug
