4/5 Stars

Description: Is love a possible premise when you feel completely lost? Hattie and Presley are both handling a lot of life at one. Hattie can taste words, has an absent mother, can not longer swim due to trauma, and doesn't believe in love. Presley lost his twin, moved continents, and isn't sure what he can do anymore now that he can't skate after a traumatic accident. These two somehow intersect and begin to build something neither of them expected, but can it survive everything they are holding onto?

The good:
- I loved Hattie's and Presley's character arcs.
- The side characters were perfect compliments to the main characters
- The exploration of grief and handling trauma was handled very well.
- The book within a book was definitely a cool concept!

The loss of a star:
- The Taylor Swift references were a bit forced for me (especially as a certified swiftie)
- Timing was just not very clear to me? I was very confused and all over the place a lot of the time.
