INTENSE.

This book is fast paced and rarely lets up. That first chapter already put me on my toes and I read this incredibly fast because HOW COULD I NOT FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS.

The first half of the book wasn’t my favorite. It felt like the whole focus was just about Kit and Jessa sleeping together. How often could they find time alone together kinda thing. When other aspects of their whirlwind romance were brought up they were SO SWEET. I was smitten with the loving way Kit treated Jessa and how tight their bond was childhood (brother’s best friend trope!!).

I loved the second half. It was devastating and raw. I felt emotionally gut punched and had to know that a positive ending was imminent (thank goodness it was). Many bittersweet moments. I appreciated that things seemed true to life and I could completely understand both main characters actions and decisions as grief consumed them. A touching read that I’d definitely recommend!
