This was my fastest read by far. I couldn’t put it down, every page left me wanting more. The character development is strong, and you feel like you’re living in the world with them. It’s hard to believe this happened over the course of 7 days because of how much history and chemistry the characters had. I can’t wait to read it again!

it feels like the bones of a really good drama/romance novel OR a second chance romance about a single mom OR a woman figuring out her Creole ancestry, but all three at once??? w/ very try-hard, dated pop cultural references??? I can't fully enjoy this as much as I would like to, sadly

I understand why this book is at the top of everyone's recommendation lists. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the characters (and as a NYC enjoyer, the descriptions of Brooklyn). Eva captured my attention from the very first moments, in the way she is written and the way the character jumps off the page; it felt like I knew her, she was someone I wanted to be friends with. Both Eva and Shane are troubled characters who are trying to grow from underneath the shadow of their past, but they are relatable and lovable even when they are frustrating. For a novel set over the span of a week (with some throwback scenes) it felt drawn out; I felt like I was living in every moment with the characters and embracing their story in a really unique way. Definitely read the content warnings for this one, though!
