Finally read my first CoHo book and totally understand the cult following. I was worried before I started that it would be overrated. I was ready to be disappointed - but my goodness I love it. If I weren't on a book buying ban her entire body of work would be on my bookcase. I will warn people to check the triggers before reading most of CoHo books though.

I've waited days to write this review because it is so hard to put this feeling into words. It was spicy 🌶️🌶️, I loved Tate and Miles, I hated them both, it made me cry multiple times but still made my heart so full throughout. Pacing myself, I read it in 2 days... 2 sessions. I loved CoHos use of language, of typography, the perfectly timed switches in POV, the mystery, the thrills and the seemingly one sided romance. 

They were toxic together but so close to being right together. I could hate this book if it weren't for Miles' POV, it gives you hope that he is good. All good. You can hope as Tate hopes.
