“A love story that has only just begun, with the best parts still left to be written.”

SO so so much love for Ellie and Rafa. 

tropes:

Talk about a SLOW BURN but their chemistry is there from the very beginning.  The forbidden touches, stolen glances, UGH, so good.

As things start to progress, it becomes more apparent that neither Elle or Rafa have had an “easy” or a “simple” life and they both are absolute fighters and love each other whole-heartedly, cracks and messy and all.  PS - Nico is so adorable, I just can’t. 

“All I see is someone who chose to live. Someone who chose to keep fighting, even when they had reason to give up. Someone who turned their scars into shooting stars. You’re a warrior, Elle.”

Lauren never fails to cover such heavy and difficult topics with grace — as someone who previously struggled with SH for many years, it’s apparent how much time and thought went into the characters interactions regarding it and especially when having to address her scars with Nico 🤍

Thank you Lauren & Valentine PR for the ARC 🩷
