ARC REVIEW:
Thank you @ashleydill_author for the ARC copy in exchange for my review. All thoughts are my own! I seriously can’t thank you enough though!
There is so much to say about this book and yet I am at a loss for words. There are books that come into your life at just the right moment. And I can’t express how deeply this runs true for me with this book! Given my personal experience and the fact that Ashley Dill asked me to read her book. I know it was something I needed to read during this time in my life. The writing is stunning. The metaphor that encompasses a lot of this book will be something that sticks with me for forever. I couldn’t stop underlining and thinking about this one. This is a book I will cherish for such a long time.
I also loved that when the perspective changed it wasn't always just back and forth. It sometimes would be multiple chapters of one perspective and then switch. I thought that was very well done. It flowed so much better than just going from Jack to Miranda's POV every other chapter.
Content warnings: YES DM me! They could also be considered spoilers
Read if you Enjoy:
Dual POV
Second Chances
Character Growth
Realistic, imperfect yet lovable characters
