5 ⭐️ ♾️. Naaa 10 fucking ⭐️

This is one of the best contemporary romance books I’ve ever read. No contest, fight me for it 👊🏻

The ✨feeling✨ came over me, one I’ve only had that twice in my life with Still Beating and The Simple Wild. I KNEW I was in trouble from the first page 😭⭐️. This book was gunna have me up against by wall and by the mf throat 🤌🏻

WHAT A STORY 😭😩 it’s a rockstar second chance romance that follows Lennon and Phoenix, essentially told in 2 parts. Part 1 follows them at high school where we get to see the breakdown of their relationship and why they fell out and part 2 as adults 4 years later.

The characters were SO INTERESTING 👌🏻
Voicey. Layered. And DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE ANGST!! I may combust 😩 the back and forth sent meeeeee. But it wasn’t trashy or tasteless Ashley Jade got it RIGHT, and despite this book being over 500 pages I never wanted it to end.

It’s got…
☑️ touch her and you die
☑️ enemies to lovers
☑️ friends w benefits
☑️ hate sex
☑️ revenge plot
☑️ plus size rep

When I die, don’t even bother bringing me back if I’m not married to Phoenix Walker 🔥 what. A. MAN 😩

I loved EVERYTHING about it. THIS is how it’s done. An actual masterpiece MWAH 😘👏🏻
