3.5

First of all, thank you to Madison for giving me the opportunity to ARC read this in exchange for an honest review!

Overall, I have rated this 3.5 stars.

What I loved about this book

• The small mountain town vibes!
• The undeniable connection between Aurora and Wyatt 💙
• Also where can I find a man like Wyatt Grady? Asking for a friend 🫣
• I loved the story of reconnecting with not only her past love, but also her family, her hometown and nature

What I didn’t love quite as much

• The lack of explanation as to why she left until the end of the book - I feel like it was very over dramatised
• I have seen this mentioned in some other reviews but some of the sentences structures were questionable. I saw a comment saying that it was an unedited ARC and there were some mistakes that will be corrected however I would have to disagree with that because it absolutely felt like it was a choice of writing style rather than a mistake.

All in all, the ending of this book was very wholesome and left me with some butterflies 🦋

The emotional damage is real with this one! I genuinely don’t know if I will ever recover, and I’m finding it incredibly difficult to put my thoughts and feelings in to words right now!

This story and these characters were so well thought out, there were deeper meanings to everything. Every connection and every relationship had so many levels to them.

This was beautiful, heartbreaking, confronting, literally so many different emotions.

An absolutely incredible story, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to read this as an arc.

I ate this up. Completely devoured it!

I had no idea what to expect going in to this (who has time to read blurbs?) but as soon as I read the words ‘key party’ I knew I was in for a good time. I just didn’t anticipate how much of a good time!

I am lowkey obsessed with Hawk and Jett and they will be added to my book boyfriend HoF! The spice in this book was just perfect!
