This is the first book of Catherine cowles that I’ve read since I’m still hyper fixating on the single parent trope and I’m not going to lie the rush of names and relationships to each other had me questioning my life choices but holy hell this book was fantastic. It was suspenseful throughout, sweet because Cady girl was the embodiment of sunshine, and the romance between two people who struggled with their own trauma letting their walls down and embracing a love that’s worth protecting to hell and back was so good. 

There was so many twists and turns into trying to pinpoint who did it but I was not expecting that ending. I went to read other reviews after I put the book down and didn’t even realize there was an indicator in the beginning of the book that related to the twist. 

Cady and Charlie stole my ice cold heart. Omg they’re adorable.
