He didn’t know. He didn’t know how I was, not truly.
But I wanted him to. I wanted Walsh to know how I was, how I could be, just in the way I wanted to know him. Every thought, every desire, every dream. I wanted to know it all, and even though it was a terrifying thought, I wanted him to know all of me too.
Gahhhhh, I honestly can’t even begin to express how much I loved this book. Seriously. I was worried that all the drama on Sophia’s side (and also on Walsh’s side) would taint the book and make it hard for me to enjoy...but it didn’t. And while I usually can predict certain aspects of most stories, this one actually had a few unexpected twists!
Y'all, by the end of the book, I realized how much hope this story held...it really showed that even though bad things happen (and it doesn’t look like anything will change for the better), life can surprise you and turn out absolutely amazing. There were so many good lessons. I loved the character development and growth. Sophia was definitely selfish at times, but aren’t we all? And I loved how she was finally able to recognize that about herself and deal with it.
As far as content goes: No language and only kissing/making out. Walsh was shirtless a couple of times. Brief/mild suggestive comments were made. Dishonesty was a big part of the plot. Cheating did happen (not between the main characters). Underage drinking was mentioned. Mostly-absent parents were part of the storyline (I wasn't triggered by this, but other readers could be). I don't want to spoil anything, so I will just say that the book does have some more serious themes; BUT, they weren't very extreme and didn't overshadow the romance elements. I can't remember if there was anything else.
Walsh is 100% worthy of being book boyfriend material. I know he wasn’t perfect and made mistakes, but I liked how that just made him more real. I swooned, and swooned, and swooned, y’all. 😍💗
I didn’t want the book to end, I really didn’t. 😭🥺
