5.0

Trigger warning for this book: graphic description of a dissected body, mentions of suicide attemp and homomisic slur, schizophrenia

4.5 ⭐️

I fell in love with this book. I am not the biggest fan of romance, but this was just perfect. Bex is a realistic character and doesn’t act like a saint. She’s not perfect from the start, but she isn’t a “bad girl” either. Jack is lovable and far from your ideal rich boy. Their relationship is based on understanding and respect of each other’s boundaries, which seems to be more and more obsolete in novels that include romance, these days.

I was glad everything wasn’t resolved perfectly by the end of the novel, ‘cause that’s just not how life works. They were on a good path and it was a happy ending for pretty much everyone, but it showed the work you still have to put in after the end of a story.

I’m quite glad I finally came around to read this book. Adding it to my buying list 😊
