This ended up being a heavier read than I had anticipated going in. I enjoyed it! Please make sure you check your trigger warnings.
This story follows two teenagers young and in love who found peace and a home within one another. Due to their traumatic lives and upbringing they’re ripped away from one another. Fast forward over a decade later and they have the chance to reconnect after one of them decides to write a novel about their love and life experience with one another when they were kids. The story has alternating timelines between when they were fifteen and in love to adults who are virtually strangers in present day.
I’m a sucker for a second chance romance and I’m always rooting for the underdog. This book is heartbreaking and healing all at once and reminds us to take chances , live with no regret , and to never give up especially on ourselves.
