Review:
This book absolutely broke me in the best way. I fell hard for June and Adam — their chemistry, their flaws, their growth — everything felt honest, layered, and achingly human. I cried more than once over how bittersweet some of their moments were. The emotional pacing reminded me of The Last Five Years, but with a rhythm entirely its own.
Joss Richard crafted a romance that’s equal parts tender and devastating, with a deeply satisfying payoff. The ending left me full — not in a tied-up-with-a-bow way, but in the earned-it way. If you're looking for a romance that aches while it heals and gives you all the spice and the soul, this one's a must-read.
Content Warnings: grief, emotional trauma, relationship strain
