This was just amazing to read. Again, could be very triggering for some people but I think they dealt with recovery so well and how healing’s is not linear and how important having a good supportive system is. Beautiful book ❤️

I’m so so so glad Amber Smith wrote another book to continue Eden’s story! I was absolutely engrossed in both books and I loved each of them…
This one was a lot more light hearted than the first one however definitely enjoyed it just as much!
I love her writing style and how detailed she writes about things.
I was scared when I got half way when Eden and Josh broke up and I still had a whole other way of the book but it definitely made sense when I read the second part!
I also absolutely loved that this one had both POVs from Eden and Josh, that definitely made it even more special to be able to get into Josh’s head! - who knew he was such a softie 🥰😂

Eden and Josh truly are made for each other. They have such great banter, conversations, and challenges they have to face together. Will Eden be able to succeed and grow when the trial takes place? Will Kevin receive the punishment he deserves? Lastly, will Josh be able to make amends with his father and stand up for what he believes and feels?
