this review will include spoilers. you have been warned :)
i’m stumped. i have no idea what to rate this. but i will say that so far, i think this is my favorite christina lauren novel.

let me give them their flowers first,
the thing i love about christina and lauren is that every book of theirs feels like it was written by someone different. it makes each story feel so distinct; it doesn’t feel like you’re reading the same book over and over. like it’s hard to contemplate the fact that this is written by the same people as josh and hazel or the ...more

I'm sad it took me as long as it did to finally sit down and read this....
It was BEAUTIFUL. I absolutely loved this book. Honestly, I pictured young Elliot as a baby Spencer Reid and adult Elliot as Sam Winchester???? Please tell me if you did also!!!
This was a second chance romance, childhood friends to strangers to lovers and it was BEAUTIFULLY written.
