I loved Only Love Could Hurt Like This, and was excited to read Paige Toon's next book because of it. In hindsight, I should have known that this book would be distressing, since the other one was so devastating, but somehow I still wasn't ready. 

I devoured this book in about 24 hours. I couldn't do anything but read it. Toon is somehow able to make these concepts and characters feel so real and reasonable, and evade a lot of the more annoying common aspects of romances. Even if I was frustrated with a character, their actions and thought processes felt true to life. I was really rooting for them and I was so stressed even while knowing I'd get an HEA in the end.

Thank you to Netgalley and G.P. Putnam's Sons for the chance to read and review this ARC.
