I loved this book & can't wait for the next! I was sucked into RJ's life with the first paragraph and couldn't put it down!!

"It means I'm broken, and all I seem to do is cut people with my jagged edges until they feel the same pain I do, because I can't tell them why I am broken. So, they try to soothe all those jagged parts, but they don't know why I have them, and all they do is end up hurting themselves."

My younger self really resonated with RJ & I think that's why I love her so much. She puts all of the blame and guilt on herself when she shouldn't. Her glow-up was by far my favorite. She is so self-sacrificing and cares so deeply for all of the people she loves she would do anything to protect them.

"I will love you until I die or until my soul is ripped from my body. Until the end."

Sterling, Sterling, Sterling! We love a head over heels, watch the world burn, kill anyone & anything for you boyfriend! And that nickname?? "Rosehip" I love it!!

I'm so ready for book 2! I can't wait to see what happens with the mashed up fam💕
