Never in my life did I expect grumpy Ryan Cody from the previous books to have once been a sunshine boy, while Rae is the grumpy introvert practically wearing an invisibility cloak. I gasped when Clem's mom appeared—what a twist! The typical rich-girl, poor-boy dynamic is present, but Ryan is such a romantic who fights for what he wants. 

I teared up at Rae's condition—scratch that, I bawled my eyes out again for the nth time, even though I’m still sick. God, what a wonderful novella! And that acknowledgment? God. Damn. It broke me in the best way. 

Now so many of the questions I had finally make sense. Please, please, for the love of God, check the TW! Read this after Honey Pot to make sense of everything—and keep a box of tissues close. 😭😭😭

Thanks Aubrey for this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.
