5.0

The story grabbed me from page 1 and suddenly it was 3am and I finished the book. It’s a very intense read about learning to love yourself again, and I love how Grady and Dylan help each other with that. They both struggle with their body image, and that’s affecting their lives in negative ways. I’m never a big fan of stories where communication isn’t really happening, but in this case it made total sense to me with everything they were dealing with. 

The survivor’s guilt that Grady was dealing with made my heart ache for him, I can’t even imagine how the burden can cripple someone’s ability to continue their life. It was a beautiful book about loss, grief, acceptance, and finding love when you least expect it.
