Some twists I had suspected early on started to unfold with a few too many 'coincidences' to keep grounded in 'realistic land' and propelled it straight into Days of Our Lives land.Ī few other eye-roll-worthy 90210 style shenanigans ensued.Īnd then Tristan's behavior suddenly flew high and right. In fact, I was ready to smack 5 stars on this bad boy and wax poetic in my review.Īnd then shit just seem to come off the rails a bit. The way they expressed their pain to each other?

The author did a really great job with these two severely broken characters. All I saw was a shitload of 5-star reviews so I picked it up not realizing it dealt with certain topics I typically and unfailingly avoid. However, in this case, I only read the blurb and not actual reviews of the book. or that maybe I just don't understand pain and grief.Īnd it's the worst fucking thing in the world, as I'm sure a lot of people here know and relate to.īut anysadz, I'm not one of those folks who like to repeatedly pick at my own scabs.which is actually why I typically avoid reading books like this one.īecause why remind yourself of some of your worst memories under the guise of 'fun' reading, amiright? So I know a lot of you might be thinking that cold-hearted, soulless Val once again just couldn't see past the sappiness sweetness to truly appreciate the poignancy here. And I'm not trying to compel others to do the same or not read this book. So please don't see my review as me not being able to 'rise above' and see the good because that's not the case. But I chose not to because that's just my true opinion. It should be on people's tbr because it's a great book.Īnd I'm glad others are overlooking certain things and loving it. I'm not trying to disuade people from reading this.

A lot of people say 'I was able to overlook a, b, and c about the book and enjoy it' and 'it's still on my tbr,' and that's great.
