So so good. Maybe I thought it was so good because I relate to it in some ways, but this book breaks your heart and mends it back together again. Readers will fall in love with Rhys

I've been waiting for this book since July (I think?), so obviously I had to pause whatever I was doing and read it as soon as it came out.
When I don't like a book I write paragraphs about the things that bothered me, but when there's something I love I never know how to express myself and explain what I enjoyed. Unfortunately this is one of those cases too.
I just... I cried. It made me emotional. It broke my heart and put it back together. So that obviously makes it a five star read for me.
I was so impatient and excited about this book that in the past couple of months I kept reading and rereading all the snippets that the author had shared, so many of the emotional and impactful moments I already knew and was expecting. They still got to me though, and there were also a lot of emotional moments that hadn't been shared before so it's not like I actually spoiled myself.
