I cannot believe it has been soon long since I've had a book with proper angst.

I hear people ranting all the time about how books just "tore their heart out" but nothing has really touched me.

This book took its time with the characters. They were lovable, infuriating, flawed and beautiful. Some people do not like when the MMC of a romance novel is anything less than perfect, but I loved the characterization here so much.

The thought processes, the choices and mistakes of the two main characters could be heartbreaking at time, and yet I could stand along side them and know where it was coming from. I knew why they were making these choices rather than just wanting to yeet my book across the room in frustration.

The prose in this book was simple and yet beautiful. The writing style was very refreshing. I will certainly be checking out other books by this author! A new favorite!
