I found this book to be a bit underwhelming. I think I went in with false expectations. I also think I was in the mood for a lighter romance, but then chose a heavier one. So my rating is more a reflection of me as a reader and my experience than of the book itself. Which honestly, most of my ratings are that way. 
I didn’t connect with Eva or Shane as main characters. I found them to be very codependent and I didn’t vibe well with that. So I know that is also why I didn’t feel too strongly for the story. I did love Audre, Eve’s young teen daughter though! Her banter with Shane and her personality were the highlight of this book for me. I was definitely rooting for her, as she was trying so hard to just please her mom. She truly idolized her, you could tell.

I learned that I don’t really like books about characters who struggle with substance abuse. I just find it harder to get in their heads when it isn’t something I have any personal experience with.
