L.J. Shen writes the most beautiful stories.
I AM A SPICE GIRL... lol no not the girl group but a girl who demands spice to like a book. Well there are a few author's who can write a story with very little spice and still make me glued to a book. L.J. Shen is one of those authors. This book like many of her others was a masterpiece and will live rent free in my brain for life. This story had twist and turns I never seen coming. Parts that made me tear up and characters that I love. The spice scale is a 2/5 but the plot, how it pulls you in all are top star. So if you liked any of L.J. Shen's books you have to read this one and if you haven't then let this be your first since it's a standalone.

Angsty love story that features lots of right person at the wrong time and made me hope things finally fell in their favor. Fortunately, that HEA did happen, with some spice, but also with plenty of tears along the way. Not for the faint of heart or those afraid of a little loss along the way. Grief can really mess you up and Ever is a great example of that. Thankfully, she can eventually get her head on right just in time to save herself from losing the love of her life.
