Absolutely amazing

I loved this book and definitely would believe I would love it as a high school student more so than now. However I was able to relate to this book as I to went down this same path. This book tells a story of what another of high-school girls dealt with. I'm not 25 years old and still enjoyed the book. I'm super excited as I'm about to read the sequel of this book and I feel I can't read another book until u read it just because I'm so invested. this will be a book you pick up one day and never put down. A book where the ending is beautiful but leaves you wanting more. I'm normally a murder mystery James Patterson girl. However this author now has Mt heart ad well and am planning on buy every books possible of hers. A book that will have you mad at hurt and emotional as you watch the main character break down after a traumatizing experience. Eddy deserved way more and I cannot wait to see if she end up finding love and so much more for herself in the next book

Amazing

The book tells a story that's relatable, and moves you to tears or makes you angry. For her and yourself.

Couldn’t put it down!!

I absolutely loved this book, it’s a page turner! It’s such a heartbreaking book yet so relatable. Eden deserved so much better :(

I cried and felt so emotionally connected to Edy

I bought this book based off a tiktok recc and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed how author split the book into high school grades because I understood the development of each character. Not going to lie I didn't think this book was going to make me feel as EMOTIONAL AS IT DID. Edy DESERVED LOVE, even though the way things played out, in my eyes she always deserved so much more than what she thought she did. I highly recommend this book and some tissues :))))))

Could not stop turning the page!

Great book! The author did an amazing job with splitting the book into four sections (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior), it helped me follow along as the main character changed throughout the chapters and her high school career. I wish there was more to the ending of the book. When I finished it left me wanting more, to know what happened after. Easy read though and definitely recommend!

Beyond amazing

This is by far one of my favorite books and I can’t count how many times I’ve read it over. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend. This is an amazing book that is extremely well written and makes you feel every emotion. Love love love it.
