I wanted to love this book so much because the book cover is stunning and everyone else loves it so much but I just couldn’t do it.

This story starts off with B and her best friend Jenna going for a run in her neighborhood when B accidentally bumps into a very handsome boy name Jamie. As B is trying to gather her thoughts and find her voice to speak to him, in storms Jenna and Jamie is a goner for her. For the next 12 years B and Jamie find themselves wanting to be with each other but timing never seems to work out for them.

Everything was going great! I loved the first 30% of the book and the last chapter of Love Whiskey from Jamie’s POV. But everything else was pure irritation, annoyance, and slightly childish. I guess since the book is supposed to be heavy angst that it did it’s job and I can see why people love this book but I couldn’t get pass all the hurt and pain they caused so many people because they couldn’t get their sh*t together. B and Jamie continued to say time wasn’t on their side when really it was them standing in their own way. I love the message this book gave but I wish it didn’t have to be at the expense of all the relationships they were in during these 12 years. I’m always game for a toxic relationship but I wish Jamie and B realized sooner that their love for each other is toxic and they didn’t need to drag anyone else through their pain disfuntion.
