*5 Stars*

ARC kindly received for an honest review.

Holy wow. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. I must say, I wasn't sure what to expect as I had originally read the short released by Jay earlier this year, and I do always struggle to connect with short stories. But I needn't have worried - as ALWAYS Jay has delivered and delivered in a huge way.

I went through the highs and lows with Harlow and Jace. At times when I was reading at work on my breaks, I was holding back the tears and hoping my colleagues didn't walk past an wonder what was wrong. 

Both our lead characters have so much trauma in their lives - and communicating it to each other, those around them, and navigating through it is a huge task. But, they are the light in each others darkest of times, and I FELT their story. 

I loved so many of the side characters too, and there was one I absolutely DESPISED. (You will know when you read this). 

Go and grab this book, you will not regret it. Highly recommend and cannot wait for more words from Jay McLean in the future.
