My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
CW: addiction, on page drug use, death of a loved one, two instances of physical violence
This is an excellent book, but a hard one to read. An excellent book that I actually had to put down for a few days before I could pick it up and start reading again. 2020 has been a giant trash fire and and I've tried to read mostly all happy books. When I started this book I knew that at some point it was get complicated and a bit dark, but it wasn't until I started to get to that point that I knew I had to step back until I was mentally ready for it. I even had the thought that maybe I wasn't going to finish it, but I'm glad that I did.
A lot happens in this book and I won't unpack everything that happens, but I will say this: Vinny and Andy were a mess from the start. They were both dealing with things in their lives in unhealthy ways and I knew that eventually it would all come to a head. I do admit that I was a bit shocked as to how it all played out, so props to the author for keeping me on my toes.
I said in a previous review, that when you read a Kelsey Kingsley book, you get much more than a love story. She manages to go beyond the surface story and gives us so much more. This book is no exception.
