This is so much more than just a romance, it’s about family, trauma, damage, healing, about crippling disability, about conquering your fears and being your true self.
With such amazing characters as I’ve rarely read this tale takes you on a ride from the saddest most heartbreaking of youth stories where love would be impossible to survive to a cute mother and daughter relationship, finding the love that got away and how to go from there.
In the midst of it all there’s also space to address self-harm, abandonment, drug abuse, racism, colorism, and delve deep into living with a disability, family trauma and abandonment, but also family strength and unity, with a colourful splash of fashion, glamour, books and of course some steamy romance.
There’re a lot of fun parts too, mostly with the daughter (a deliciously witty character) and a lot of heart wrenching ones, and for the life of me I couldn’t put it down a second, I just had to know if the two traumatised writers could find happiness with each other after everything, pain, loss and time.
An epic romance that brought me to tears and laughs, and definitely now one of my favourite adult romances ever! Will definitely check more of this author and see if Colleen Hoover as found her match in my romance preferences as she did with this one.
