-Thoughts 💭

I had such high hopes for this one since Lauren is one of my favorite authors, but this book was not it! I appreciated some aspects of this that I'll elaborate more on in a second, but overall I did not enjoy it as much as I hoped I would.

Firstly, The story lacked newness. Maybe flavor, I don't know! It was way too boring for me!
For the first book in the series, it was too long, imo!
Secondly, the pace was too slow for me that I almost dnfed it and the chemistry was not there, not until the last quarter of the book!

It did pick up eventually from the second half, but there was some sort of rush into everything all at once, considering them not openly talking about their feeling or needs in the first half!

So about what I admired in this one were matters such as depression, anxiety, family loss, and not being able to have a child that were discussed beautifully in this book!
The people that surrounded her were all supportive of her, and they all helped in any way they could, to make her feel safe and at home.


Dahlia's character is relatable in so many ways. We witness her struggling with everything she has gone through or is still going through, yet she doesn't give up on her dreams or passions, supported by those around her. Perhaps, in the end, love truly does have the power to heal.


“You can bounce back. You can prove him and everyone else that they didn't break you. And you can fight this battle against yourself and come out stronger because of it.”


About Julian…. Julian was extremely supportive when it came to her mental health problem, and it was admirable!
He had an understanding of how to help somebody dealing with dispersion and anxiety, so there for he helped her every time she was struggling, without a second thought!
Julian's character development was also to die for, although I hated him in the beginning, he made that all up!

-Audiobook!!!

Noah B. Perez, Vanessa Vasquez thank you so much for this amazing narration!!


I'll be reading the next books in the series, but please be better! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
