y’all this book was cute as hell.

ok, first things first, i dislike when an H supposedly “loves” h but goes on to be a ho. i hate it because what the heck is the point ya know? i don’t believe H loves the h if he’s intimate with a bunch of OW.

but here?

i didn’t mind it as much.

why you say?

because i get it. what he went through when he was a kid was heartbreaking and i definitely understand his mindset. Brandt thought he was dirty and Sarah was the only clean and pure thing in his life so he wanted to separate that.

and the fact that he thought the h didn’t love him back because the h unknowingly broke his heart and implicitly rejected him when they were 16 years old? so sad.

but his love for her? i BELIEVE it. making me believe is really important if there’s a trope like this and it’s rare for me to even like an H like Brandt but i loved him.

i know some people may still be hesitant because of this trope but trust that Brandt really REALLY only loves Sarah. it was complicated as hell though.

“You’re not just my best friend, you’re my sanity. You’re priceless, Sarah.”

Sarah was such a cute, sarcastic dork and i loved her! she has cerebral palsy and her strength and determination was so admirable to me. and she’s also likes Supernatural so obviously imma like her automatically.

Brandt was too cute for words. his love for Sarah was so genuine and swoony, i was aww-ing all the damn time.

yes, he was a little bit of a man ho and yes i didn’t really like that but again, i understand why he was like that. thank god they only mentioned his man ho ways in the past for only 2 chapters and in a very subtle way. i don’t like it when their blunt with their OW sexcapades.

and when Sarah started dating and he was all jealous?



ok gotta admit i was a little petty and i was all like yes, now you know it feels and all that but i loved how he started fighting for her even though he didn’t know he was fighting for her but us readers know he definitely was FIGHTING FOR HER.

see? complicated as hell.

“You matter,” I murmured, knowing the next few words I said may just be the most important thing I ever uttered. “I could lose everyone I know and everything I had, and I’d still be able to handle it as long as I still had you. You’re the only person who does matter to me.”

honestly, there were so many cute moments here i couldn’t keep count.

this was such a great friends to lovers, slow burn romance! even though i wanted more time spent on them being an actual couple, i loved all the push and pull.
