I listened to an ALC of this book and omg Julia Whelan is truly one of the best narrators around. 

I will start off by saying that this book has heavy trigger warnings. Because of the trigger warnings and how heavy the book starts off, I did have to take a short break from it when I first started listening to it. But once I picked it up again I flew through it. Sara and Emilie both carry a lot of pain and trauma from their childhoods and we see their individual lives unfold and how it brings them together. From their first meeting, their connection was there and you could feel it so clearly. As time goes on and they come in and out of each other’s lives, you are left with so much angst and yearning and honestly, it was done so well. 

The ending was perfect for the story and for the characters. Did I wish and hope for more? Of course, but I understand why it ended the way it did. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ALC in exchange for an honest review.
