My favorite read of 2024 so far! WOW! I absolutely loved this book. It's as heartbreaking as it is hilarious. The writing is fantastic, from the character building to the expertly written slow burn and chemistry. And the spice was spicin', y'all!

I love a good angsty story, and this one was packed with it. I'll never forget the yearbook scene (iykyk) and I just about combusted into flames by the time these two finally gave in. Add in the tragic story of their past and the very glaring reasons why they couldn't be together, it left a pit in my stomach as I held onto hope and fell hard and fast with them.

I really appreciated the raw vulnerability of our main characters, how they both had a little bit of "fucked up" in them and they knew it. Those things they still needed to deal with kept them from being 100% healthy and adjusted together and I totally understood that. It was a great new adult book.

I also LOVED that the characters are my age, they graduated the same year I did, and all their high school memories lined up with mine. That brought a nostalgic feel to it that I adored!

Now, I'm going to go play "In Your Atmosphere" by John Mayer on repeat because I'm convinced it's their song. I'm not quite ready to leave them yet. Five stars. I highly recommend this one to angst lovers!
