Whit (Unexpected book 1) by Cora Rose ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

An emotional rollercoaster ride of two very different people who find themselves inadvertently drawn to each other. Caleb's the sunshine to Whit's grumpy and brings vibrancy and stress into Whit's life through his messiness and childish antics.
Whit is the mysterious and unknown, keeping secrets and lies which ultimately become his downfall. After learning more about his brutal childhood you get to see more of a glimpse of the broken man he is rather than the studious, perfectionist that he presents to the world.
We see very little of the story from Whit's perspective, though what we do see really helps in understanding the deeper aspects of his character.
This was almost a 5 star read for me but the ending felt slightly rushed compared to the rest of the book and there were a few grammatical inconsistencies that pulled me out of the story.

There was no trigger or content warning in the actual book which would have been helpful as this story does deal with some heavy topics.

CW: suicidal thoughts, grief, loss and mentions of self harm, suicide attempts and mental and physical abuse.
