I just read 552 pages in about 4 days, the best 552 pages. This is my first book by Lucy Score and oh my goodness it most definitely is not my last. I had this book on my shelf for almost 2 years, scared to read it. It’s a large book, intimidating, but finally I picked it up. My only regret is not reading this sooner. The writing style is perfection, I was completely hooked from page one, and the cover is adorable.
First things first, I’m so happy Waylay stole Knox’s dog for a sec there, that was everything.|| These characters are just lovely. ||Knox had me there for a second, thinking he was stupid, but I’m so happy that in the end he got his act together. I loved Naomi the entire time, she’s amazing and I’m so happy she got her happily ever after. Waylay had an awful childhood and deserved so much better, Naomi gave her that plus some. And Knox too. In the bonus epilogue when Waylay called Knox “Dad” I almost just burst into tears to be honest. AND STEF AND JEREMIAH OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE YALL!!!
All in all though, I’m writing this at 1:40am right after finishing it because it was just too good to put down. This book is perfect, go read it.
