I refused to be the darkness that would eclipse his sunshine.
Alright, first off, bring tissues, because ouch. I cried a lot, lol. SO good, though, and absolutely worth the pain. I fully expected to love the book after meeting Matty and Sebastian in Patience, and I wasn’t disappointed. I was already pretty much in love with Matty, and now I feel like I would die for a fictional character. He is the most precious and adorable man ever. He deserves to get everything he wants out of life, and thankfully Sebastian will give it all to him.
Their story was far from smooth sailing. It was like they had this third entity in their relationship, namely Sebastian’s deep trauma. He’s not the easiest to like, but thankfully the prologue gives us an understanding of all he’s been through and what he struggles with. He’s one of those characters where, even if you wanna shake him when he messes up, you also want to hug him, tell him it’s going to be okay and that he’s worthy of love.
“I think it’s been a long time since anyone has fought for you rather than against you. I’m going to do that, Seb, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”
Seeing Matty get all he wanted and Sebastian’s personality shine through (beyond the snark) was beyond nice. They both deserved it, and they really did turn out to be perfect for each other. The epilogue made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Really appreciated that we got to see them happy for a good while to make up for some of the heartache. Very highly recommend this book.

I’d been so scared of Matty falling for me, I hadn’t protected myself. This human held my heart in his hands, and he had no idea.
“You shouldn’t look at it that way. It’s toxic, red flag behaviour.” His teeth sank into his lower lip as he looked up at me from under his lashes. “Did I ever tell you I’m colour blind?”
