This story was everything I didn’t know I wanted and so much more! The warnings are definitely there, but I think this author is kind of known for her heart wrenching stories. I loved this so much!

The relationship between Max and Ella was adorable and wholesome and understanding. His character was so beautiful to read, he not only had a difficult home life by taking care of his ill father but he didn’t carry that weight to everyone. Am I a sucker for a hurting male character, absolutely! But he stole my heart with all his damn one liners!!! And watching Ella go through her emotional processing was really refreshing, this idea that love will overcome but to never allow herself to fall because love will also kill you (redeeming her brother’s actions). Her growth was also really heart warming to read because I can totally relate, being hurt by a loved one and just being terrified to be vulnerable with anyone. But then together is truly one of my favorite stories!
