Say hello to my favorite trope… childhood friends to lovers to the extreme because they are obsessed with each other. But like he is… OBSESSED. Every waking thought and action revolves around his girl. 

Honestly, this was dark and toxic as hell… but I ATE IT UP and loved every bit of it. There was the perfect amount of sweet and humor to balance out all the darkness. They were simultaneous the worst thing for each other and yet the only thing that made life worth living. 

This story made me feel sad, hopeful, happy and it made my heart hurt in the best and worst ways. For whatever reason, reading stories about two people who are totally and utterly consumed with one another are my favorite. Those red flags are looking mighty green from who're I stand!
