“How many loves do you get in a lifetime?”

You know – romance books are usually happy – this one on the other hand was not FREAKING HAPPY! Jessa Hastings if you ever see this pls contact me because we’ll need to talk about how you’re gonna pay for my therapy bills after reading all that I have just read!

“Loving someone like I love her fucks you up a bit. Fucking up how I fucked up also fucks you up a bit.”

WOW JUST – WOW!
I literally knew – KNEW! – what BJ had done and who he had done it with but reading chapter 67 still broke my heart into a thousand pieces. It hurt so badly that I couldn’t even cry. I’m just so at a loss for words that I can’t even get my mentions out properly and write a freaking proper review of some sort.

“Painful things can still be beautiful things.”

WHERE WAS THE BEAUTY!?
Although I truly feel as though if I were transported into this book and just started throwing pouches at a good number of these characters the world would be a better place because – OMG!!

The parts that kept me sane throughout this book:
Bushka (Bushka is definitely one of my favorite characters and I want to be like Bushka when I grow up!)
Chapter 16!! (it was just so humorous)

Here’s a song that I think relates really well to this book: The Scientist by Corinne Bailey Rae

Side note: I WANT JUSTICE FOR TOM!
