Thank you NetGalley, Estelle, Abby, and Forever Publishing for this ARC.
I feel like I day this every time but THIS is Abby's best book by far. I love the Easter eggs and the deep look at trauma and how that impacts us more than we may think. The relationship with Emma and her mom was so heartbreaking but so accurately portrayed. Having grown up in a similar situation, this was hard to read at parts but also having dealt with my trauma I can appreciate the journey that Emma goes through.
There's mention of all Abby's past books somewhere in this story and that was so fun to see. I'm also so glad that a certain someone from Part Of Your World got a happy ending. I hope to see that story played out on the page. A novella maybe? Anyways, Abby's writing gets better every time and I always become completely engrossed in the story. I just love them so much. I love how Justin is always there to support her and to be there when she needs someone. It's so beautiful. Ugh. All the stars.
