Overall I really enjoyed this! I know everyone loves Ilya but like... He's such a gem, I loved him too! I really enjoyed the story of mental health, the push and pull where, no matter how hard it got, Shane and Ilya did always try and did always come back to each other. 

My only complaint is that I actually, for one of the first times in a book, felt like maybe there was a bit too much sex 😂 never thought I'd complain about that, but compared to the story, well, I ended up skimming the sex scenes so I could hurry up and get back to the story. (the pro side of this minor complaint is that it meant that the story was so good 😅). Solidly enjoyed this book!
