This book is honestly life changing and should be required reading for everyone. I thought my time in the military and what I've been through was rough and a lot and I felt like I've lived ten lives, but it's nothing compared to David Goggins. He's insane and I mean that in the best way. I aspire to be just like him and I intend to do that.

What can I say? This book sucked me in with its premise - with its enemies to lovers, rival book authors set up, I was immediately intrigued. I loved this idea, as reader and writer myself. I wasn't sure what to expect, mainly because I just read it during the winter and it's a summer sort of book, but wow, just WOW. I haven't read anything by Emily Henry prior to this but her style and the way she tells stories and brings the technicolor to life is amazing. It was witty and clever. I rooted for January and Gus so hard and I'm so happy with the way things turned out. The letters part had me bawling. I love that it wasn't just a romance but so much more. Emily Henry can write the romance, sure... but I love that she tackled topics of grief and death and mental hurt and divorce and abuse and heartbreak all in one fully fleshed out, beautiful story. I cannot wait to read more of her stuff!

What an absolute mindfuck. I'm not one to read psychological thrillers because it does something to my mental health. But this, I couldn't put down. It was that good. So many twists and turns and I love that we never really get the truth. It remains a mystery. It was of course, somewhat hard to read at times because of certain triggers (child abuse) but it was quite the masterpiece. I was hooked completely from start to finish and I just know this one will sit with me for awhile. Go read it, but please be prepared... it's a wild ride.
