The ONLY reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the weird part of the ending lol. I like a happy ending, but this one was a bit out there even for me. (After 8 years?!)
Otherwise, I loved this book. I loved the emotions, learning to be vulnerable, healing from the traumas, the passion that the main character has. I related to her a lot, being the eldest sibling myself. The main sex scene in this book had me tearing up, laughing, and turned on. She’s so nervous about not being enough and about being hurt again. And he’s SO SWEET. Making sure she knows there’s no pressure and checking in to make sure she wants to and putting out candles for her. And then it’s hot making out and using hands type stuff and they take a breath and he makes a joke and they’re both laughing before getting all wrapped up in each other again. Relationship goals
