5/5⭐️3.75/5🥵
- Where do I even begin its so much I wanna say. This book was extra special because it felt like therapy. I got a cameo from some of my favorites. The writing was top tier, character development was on point and it was fun to read. Every relationship in this book was amazing romantic, platonic, mentor/mentee, brotherhood, and literally so much more.
- Eve Valentine the baby girl of her family and the true definition of stubborn. She thinks she can fix everything herself and the things she cant fix she ignores them lol. I've never and I mean never had beef with one of A.E fmc like this before🤣. By the end of the book I sympathized with Eve a little more bc she truly thought she did the best thing for herself. However comma I feel like the time they spent apart she didn't do any healing she just buried it all and thats why she irked me so bad when shit was coming up that she couldn't control. Then its Winter mf King..... I already knew I was gonna love him because hes funny asl but baby I love him REAL BAD now. The amount of growth on these pages had me tearing up! Depression and grief are no joke and it can really make you into another person and it was amazing how he came back to his true self. Winter is definitely a charmer he knows how to make a person feel good in EVERY way. 😌
- Now lets get into this book Ms.Eve know she dead fucking wrong playing in Noah face like that. She dragged it for more than half of the book but she got it together by the end. Then Winter kept giving me butterflies this man kept me on my toes he wasn't settling. Why tf was he on Eve asssss yall. He kept it so cute but definitely made himself crystal clear he's taking EVERYTHING. It was a little found family vibe going on, then Winter was literally the best Mentor ever, we had back to back therapy sessions with Dr.Maddox, and my favorite part Eve taking accountability that she wasn't there for Winter in the way he needed. This is not to say Winter is innocent at all lol.
- Definitely in my top 5 of 2023. Enjoyed the ride with this one. Definitely recommend!
