Oml the amount of dialogues and sentences that i highlighted in this book is insane ! That’s how much it impacted me ! It got me wiggling my toes bc RYAN FREAKING SHAY IS ONE HELL OF A MAN😭
Once again miss liz serves, the way she writes ? The character development ? Making you see bits of their true hidden personality from the beginning and having you hooked on every single one of the characters is chef’s kiss hands down.
What i love about liz tomforde’s writing and the entire windy city series is that you’re not just reading about two people who are falling in love and have crazy sexual chemistry, it’s deeper than that ! (This goes to all those A-holes saying that we just read written porn) no, she makes you live in those characters, you forget your own identity and start living through their eyes, seeing the world the way they do, their trauma and problems become yours, when you read about their emotional scenes it feels like you’re crying as well, making love to someone, healing alongside them, that’s what i love about her books.
She doesn’t just romanticize mental health problems and makes them a weapon for her falling in love story, no. She develops the ideas, the emotions, the thoughts of each and every character in such a beautiful way that their struggles and agony is felt through the words.
Maybe im exaggerating but tbh that’s exactly how i felt reading all her 3 books and now im passing on to the fourth.
Anyhow, no gonna put any spoilers about the book but if you’re looking for a reason to read it, this is your sign !
(Oh and indy, i f•••••• love you)
