I was sobbing throughout this whole book.
It delivered the emotions so perfectly to my heart that I just couldn’t stop.
Russo‘s writing style is amazing. She brought so much life into these characters, even though you only read parts of their years instead of a continuing observation. This way, the book was quite short, but it was perfect.
Eric and Morgan are also just such a dream-team of a friends-to-lovers plot. They support each other, no matter how hard, and really are there for each other (in the end).
To be honest, I wasn’t able to read every page - I skipped through them so that I wouldn’t reach a complete mental breakdown.
But nevertheless, I recommend it more than anything to everybody (especially those, who need some sad-happy character development)!
