I ate this book up!! Rhett Eaton is a top tier book boyfriend!

I laughed and cried so hard while reading this! I connected on so many levels to the FMC Summer!

The tension is this book was palpable! When I say I love a good slow burn this is exactly what I’m talking about! It was just so delicious!

I loved all the side characters and the town of Chestnut springs! I can’t wait to read all the other books in this series!

“Sometimes I don’t know what’s worse, mourning the past or the future I’ll never get to have.”

Thank you to NetGalley @netgalley and Inkpress for allowing me to read this arc for an honest review.

If I could give this book a million stars I 100% would! This book was absolutely heartbreaking and so evocative of what’s it like to be disabled and to take care of a parent with substance abuse issues. As someone with multiple disabilities I connected on so many levels with the FMC Rebecca because just like her I know what’s it like to be able bodied one day and then wake up disabled the next. The relationship between Rebecca and Ethan felt so real and I rooted for them the whole book! This book is definitely not for the faint of heart or someone looking for a gushy love story! If you are looking to bawl your eyes out and have your heart wrenched out of your body then most definitely pick up this book!

Comes out December 5, 2023!
