This book is a new obsession. I was addicted from beginning to end with close to nothing I didn’t like. I always love a dual POV so I enjoyed getting both Allie and Hudson’s perspectives plus I liked how we start the story where they first met, as kids. The gap between the prologue to current day left a lot for us to figure out and I predicted a good amount but there were still surprises which I truly appreciated. I was able to picture the Cape Cod setting so vividly and don’t even get me started with these characters because I’m straight up attached. I loved Hudson and his family whole heartedly. Allie was maybe the only piece that occasionally bothered me but I understand the rationale of her character enough where it didn’t ruin the overall likeness of the book. In the end, I cannot stop thinking about this book and although I have read other contemporary works from Rebecca Yarros, this was another reminder that I need to pick up more of them!
