I have such mixed feelings about this book. I finished it in 24 hours and it was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster but there was also so much I didn’t like, starting with the FMC. 

Maddie was so childish and cringy I almost DNFed a few times. I wish this was a dual POV just so we could get a break from her head. All of this because they hooked up ONCE when she was 19. I understand that trauma and grief changes you but it also doesn’t give you a pass to be so damn mean! Most of the time, I couldn’t even figure out why Dom liked her.

I was so relieved she finally went to therapy but baby, you should’ve been in it from the jump!

The pacing was also weird. I think it would’ve made more sense if the trips all happened on like one long road trip instead of broken up over years. So much of their relationship building happens off page that I feel like we barely know Dom. 

Weirdly, I think the only thing I really liked was the grief. That was the only thing that felt real.
