This was a very interesting and hooking romance that was set up with enemies to lovers and forced proximity. Two characters focused on their career and both with their own secret… With the inclusion of a mystery and a thriller mixed in, this took the romance on a twist making it a gripping read. Autumn tragic past and chronic pain was approached effectively, highlighting the struggles of people who suffer from it, in a "world [that] isn’t built for those of with chronic issues." I really enjoyed how the first person narrative switched between the two protagonists which built up the tension and angst between the two and heightening the romance. 
 
Many people tend to prefer romances to stay in its’ own genre but I love the inclusion of a suspenseful mystery mixed in. Later on in the novel, the dual pov served as a great way to build up suspense as a looming threat was foreshadowed. The promise of a stalker had me hooked as I was trying to figure out who it could be as subtle hints were dropped throughout - keeping me intrigued with Autumn’s backstory. The build up of suspense didn’t distract from the romances and instead, highlighted it more. This was a great read which reflected the importance of embracing who you are, letting go by remembering the good moments and that “there is beauty in mistakes”. 
 
Many thanks to Kate Callaghan for sending me this ARC in exchange for a review.
