I can’t do a full review right now bbut cause I’m crying so hard omg this book.
I wasn’t super sold on the “lust at first sites” vibes but what I think it is is more about two people who are so hard shelled, grieving, lonely, finding an immediate understanding. Seeing each other. And that really becomes clear as the story goes on.
And this is a romance but it is also a story about sisters. And utterly broken and lonely people.
“I’m always going to have your heart, Jessie. Because you gave it to me so completely, and yours taught me how to make my own. But I think—I think I need to give yours back to you now. I think you need it, because I think it’s high time you get to share it with someone else.”
GOOD FUCKING LORD.
