5.0

This was a more heartbreaking volume than any of the others I’ve read. Past memories resurface, causing our main FL to shut down her emotions and kept her from expressing her fears with the main ML. It was devastating to see this all unfold near the end. However, I’m hopeful that with some time, healing will happen and will allow our main FL to love herself and let those she loves in (even if the pain from the past bubbles up every now and again) ❤️‍🩹
