Thank you to the author and publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Looking for a second chance romance with a heavy side of personal growth? Look no further!

Loved:
  • Rylie. His evolution from grieving fuck boy to Perfect Man was amazing
  • LGBTQ characters being a natural part of the story without it feeling forced

Meh:
  • The friendships overall felt very shallow
  • Pacing just felt off with everything being magically resolved in the last thirty pages
  • Eva constantly being reactive got old fast. I understand it was a defence mechanism, but it made her supremely difficult to root for her

Disliked:
  • Aida’s lack of support after the whole reading comments incident. If my friend did that to me I would have a hard time forgiving
  • For all the growth that everyone else had, it would have been nice to see more of it in Eva
