There are so many ways that this book hits you right in the feels. You have the boy next door who is absolutely in love with the girl across the street. And she absolutely "hates" him because of childish crap that's happened. BUT as with any good love story, there's always such a fine line between passion and anger and love and hate and boy oh boy do we see that here. Whitnay does a phenomenal job of showing true emotional responses to what could really be true situations between these characters. So heartbreaking and so heart wrenching that it makes you feel like she took your heart for a roller coaster ride through the mud. I could spend hours talking about how well she does showing the power feeling control after trauma and healing from severe mental health and traumatic experiences, but I'll let you just read the book and see that for yourself. Kudos Whitnay, this book is exceptional. Absolutely exceptional.
