My god I loved this. I’m tired bc I’ve stayed up late reading this and have been crying on and off since the halfway mark but wow what a book. 
My favourite romances are ones where the characters face real issues, and have to work on themselves in order to end up together, so I already suspected this would be a hit. 
Justin is incredible, and if I had one complaint about this book it would probably be that I wish he had a little more development, as he seemed a little unrealistic at times but honestly that’s so minor and doesn’t take away from the rest of the story about Emma and her mum (and Maddy). 
I loved the empathy shown in this book, and the self-healing that takes place. There are so many gems of dialogue and of writing that I’ll take with me and I’m really so glad I picked this book up. 
Check your trigger warnings for sure but if it sounds like something you can handle, I highly recommend.
