Review TWs⚠️: mentally abusive relationship/gaslighting
I honestly instantly fell in love with Leon and Tiffy. I was waiting anxiously for them both to meet, as if reading a thriller I was turning each page waiting for the moment. And then it happened in an even better, funnier more romantic way then I could have imagined.
I loved how both Tiffy and Leon had such unique voices. By the end of the book I didn’t need to glance at the character name at the top of each chapter, I knew instantly who was speaking.
The fact that a lot of the information in this book is presented through notes makes this such a good fast-paced book, and I never felt it dragging.
I also adore how character focused this book is. I loved all of the characters we were introduced to except the obvious one I HATED. But every single one of them added something to the story and I loved that.
I loved how the book approached the more delicate, under-represented trauma of being in a verbally/mentally abusive relationship compared to a physical abusive one. I think this book really highlights how healthy and good counselling can be in the right situation and I was so happy to see this.
By the very last page I CRIED. I was so in love with Tiffy and Leon’s journey that I was so so happy with their ending.
The only flaw? I WANT MORE 😍😍
Also who else wants a Richie book, cause I know I do🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
