I would give this book 6 stars if I could.. this book is all the things! Aside from a few grammatical errors, I have absolutely no complaints.

I loved this story. Ashlie and Hunter’s story was one that made you feel like you were watching a really good romcom. The banter is great, the intimate scenes were so well done, and just the realness of the issues they both were dealing with is so relatable. As someone who struggles with anxiety too, I felt myself teetering on the line of being frustrated with Ashlie and completely getting where she was coming from. I really appreciated Hunter’s growth, and even the relationship between Chase and Kayla was so important to this story. This was my first Layna story, and I was very satisfied with it. Thank you to Layna and Luna Literary for this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I really enjoyed this book. I liked our FMC, Sariyah, and the concept of her and this instinct to feel and hear someone’s needs. I think Chanelle did a great job of showing us how cumbersome it probably is for her having to deal with hearing things from so many people and feeling like she had to fulfill their need to relieve herself, just for it to be replaced with more needs, and the guilt it made her feel in having to always put other needs before her own. I didn’t expect some of the twists throughout. And I think the reason behind what happened does make a lot of sense from an anger standpoint and grief standpoint, I just don’t agree with how it was executed. However the point definitely hit home. I think this is a powerful read for all ages.
