"Love might be messy. Life might be complicated. But being at home with your person means being all in, the good, the bad, the messy, the ugly, the beautiful. All of it."

For all the difficult subject matter discussed, it's a very surface level take on DV and toxic relationships.

Had I known this was a continuation/spin-off of a previous series, I may not have picked it up. While it is labelled as NA, it reads as YA and, as I get older, I find I'm not as enamoured with YA/NA titles as I once was. The characters and writing are too juvenile.

I enjoyed aspects of the second-chance romance between Seth & Hannah. Their re-acquaintance 'meet-cute' was sweet, but as their relationship blossomed and began to get into the messy, I felt it got cleaned up too quickly and neatly.

After reading the author's note at the end, I appreciate what they were attempting, but unfortunately it fell a little flat.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion.
