I read at least three books a week and I can honestly say this is the first time a book has ever made me cry! The characters are so beautiful the relationship is so compelling and real! I was in the strange place of not being able to stop listening, but also not wanting the book to end! I became nervous at the possibility of a unhappy ending, because the characters become so much like your friends you’re rooting for. The downs only serve to elevate the ups. The tragedies only serve to make the beautiful moments all the more worth it. And they treat the characters with both respect and real gravity. I had to physically stop myself from skipping to the end just to make sure everything worked out OK. I was so glad I did not. It made all the beauty of the story worth it highly recommend a beautiful mix of sweet romance and spice.
