I read the first two books in the series at the same time after seeing a thankfully non spoiler review that I should, I like to look at reviews before I dive into anything
lauren, I suck at the in depth reviews everyone else does, hope you still love me! 😅

My favorite part of this book is probably something that shouldn’t be my favorite but I related SO hard. The trauma. The way they both were raised was so similar in crappiness to my childhood and that really struck me. I had to sit together with my feelings on that for awhile. But I think that is such a smart thing to do-make sure real life situations are in books. Lauren knows how to make sure her readers relate and it’s incredible.
The betrayal?!?!?!?!?!?! Like?!!?!?!?! I have no words I just ?!?!?!?!?!?! 😂
I’m also so so picky on romance in books I read. There’s specific words that make me cringe, ways of wording that make me want to vomit, etc. thank the ever loving god, Lauren used ZERO of them.
You can tell from the first page that Lauren put so much hard work, thought, blood, sweat and tears into this. I truly don’t know how there’s not a million reviews on this book yet. Or the second!
(Note since I read these together, I’ll be posting the exact same review to the other one!)

Thank you so so much to Lauren for the opportunity to read this. ❤️
