This is a lot heavier than your average ya romance. Ethan is struggling trying to watch over his addict mother, thinking he's the only one who can. Rebecca feels responsible for the car accident that killed her father and the feeling that her mother blames her. It starts as a second chance love story with multiple timelines and honestly I thought about dnfing. I don't like either of those tropes. However the "before" chapters were few and far between and it got messy and real pretty quickly. I related to Rebecca's struggle with inaccessible places, I was heartbroken when Ethan described something from his childhood, I was left in disbelief about a grown women sharing her drugs and alcohol with children. If you can handle that I would recommend this book.
