This was not for me. 

TLDR: At its worst this was just trauma bonding. 

I can’t find anything positive to say honestly. Other than I like Maddy the most. Justin was ok and needs a different girlfriend and a therapist! 

I spent the whole book just screaming that Emma needed clinical help. 

This was depressing pretty much the whole story until maybe that last two pages. By that point I wasn’t even happy about the HEA ending. 

Honestly found very little happiness, joy or fun listening to this book. Maybe the way Justin did his date surveys that was cute. But most of the time it was all just very very sad and depressing. 

This is NOT a cute summer beach read the way the cover makes you think. This is dark, and sad and depressing. Real life stuff…sure. But not a fluffy summer beach read.

Oh the male narrators voice for Emma was AWFUL. honestly if it’s going to be dual narration I wish they would voice their own parts in each chapters. It was only done with text messages.

Lastly the Toxic Positivity can get flushed down the toilet kings toilet!! “Between Empathy and Anger, Always choose Empathy” for gods sake. I want to scream them and yes you are allowed to be angry. 

Ok I’m done.
