ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

Let me tell y’all, when I passed that halfway point I became an unhinged reader of this book. UNHINGED. The dramatic chaos that presented itself had me literally dropping my jaw and saying “noooooooo” and then getting a little teary-eyed too. This is an atypical romance for me. It does not follow a smooth pattern and brings the angst and WILL THEY EVER GET THEIR MOMENT vibes that left me breathless.

I really loved JP. And I loved Julia. EVEN IF I WANTED TO SHAKE THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. I don’t know how I feel about a few particular plot points but I jumped on the speeding train of this journey and rolled with it. There were so many good moments throughout and a lot of Julia’s family/mother dilemmas hit a little close to home.

My one tidbit about the romance was that every time JP and Julia were together there was a bit too much focus on the physicality of the relationship vs. other pieces I would have loved to see more of.

I thought it beautifully came together in the end and I am truly a fan of Caitlin Moss’s writing.
