Nothing Burns As Bright As You by Ashley Woodfolk

4.5

A stunning book that stands to remind us that most things — most people — aren't forever, but they are just as important for who we are in that moment. I needed this reminder, and what a beautiful way to express it. Although this was a quick read, it still took me a bit to connect with it and I was full of questions as I read. These characters aren't meant to be "likable," but I stand by the fact that this made their story of falling in and out of love even more real. I can't wait to read more by Ashley Woodfolk.
