What can I say Peyton has done it again! 5 starts! What an emotional rollercoaster 🎢 Admittedly I’ve been putting this one off because I was scared to witness the pain… BUT it’s so completely worth it.
Bennett is tall and strong, he cooks, carries her favorite snacks, writes poetry, washes her hair, fights for his girl, and he’s emotionally mature! What’s not to love. Bennett is autistic and has OCD so while his love may look different it shines all the more brightly because of it.
Paloma is a person who so deeply needs and deserves love but has been found nothing but pain and sufferingtime and time again, until Bennett. Every layer of her backstory that was revealed was just another punch to the solar plexus but seeing her grow into herself and her strength was the greatest gift.
They’re both so deeply anxiety ridden (so relatable tbh) and they bring out the best in one another. Through the dual perspective and dual timeline we see past and present meld and how these two have always been each other’s person even when they thought they don’t deserve to be. When Paloma’s past threatens her present and future she’s finally able to see how far she’s come and how many people are on her side.
I’m so glad we got to see all our favorite characters really becoming a solid family, being there for one another, and finally starting to let Toren in!!
I felt a lot of emotions while reading this but happiness, sadness, and pure rage topped the list. The amount of times I wanted to throttle and rage at some of these side characters… don’t even get me started. But both Bennett’s mom and Paloma’s mom better not let me see them coming because imma throw hands 🥊🥊for my babies. As for Adam Reiner, he is an absolute angel is to be protected at all costs 😇
The book did run a little long but every page was worth it in the end. Now I desperately need Undone like I need air. I’m wrecked over Bennett and Paloma but I’m know I’ll be obliterated by Toren and Lily. Honestly Peyton could just stab me next time and it would probably hurt less, but I’m more than ready to suffer
Thank you so much to NetGalley for the arc ❤️❤️
