This book consumed my headspace and my heart. I am absolutely in love with Allie and Hudson.
Amidst forbidden love and fake dating, Allie and Hudson find themselves in the midst of very MESSY family dynamics. Both have chased high stakes careers as a professional ballerina and a rescue swimmer, running from a young love that haunts them 10 years later. Will they, won’t they? Real or not real? When will 💩 hit the fan? All of the tension the whole book.
The topics addressed in this book are not easy. And while I didn’t always agree with the decisions that the chrachters made, that’s the beauty of this story - it’s human. I also trust that Rebecca has the authority to address a situation like this based off of elements of her personal life that she has shared. I love this story so much and…in Rebecca we trust.
