⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5/5)

TW: Breast Cancer, Sick Parent

“Honestly you’re welcome to stay here, but you do know how thin these walls are, so if want to go from hearing horror movie characters screams to hearing your mother’s screams by all means stay…” 🤣😂🤣

“If it wasn’t for my parents, I would’ve thought soulmates were a lie.”

“You ever stand in a public space and feel like no one knows a single thing about you?”

“That’s what loneliness is…living in a world where no one really sees you.”

“You know what I like about that boy? What? Everything.” ❤️😍

“You’re a disgusting human being who’s raising a little bitch.”

“Don’t take his broken pieces and call them love.”

“You leave my sister alone you little bitch!”

“Just the thought of you heals me.”

I’m all over these Brittainy Cherry books lately, like where have you been all of my reading life!!? They are so relatable. This one was recommended for me after listening to her Elements Series. It started off with much love for Mister Rogers (who helped me with life more than anyone will ever know) and talks about grounding their teenager FROM their room. We have to do that with my son. Again, relatable.

Why is Grey so charming off the bat!?!

Why is Eleanor so darn likable!?

They promised to stay friends forever and to always be there for each other but when you live so far from each other that distance sets in and promises fall by the wayside.

Fast forward 15-16 years and Eleanor & Grey are no longer in touch…until they are, but something has changed with Grey…he’s a shell of his former self. Could the rekindle an old romance / friendship or is it better to leave it be and continue on? There are many complications in this story but it was so nice to see everything unfold.

Brittainy writes characters that you’ll fall in love with, wonderfully flawed people that are relatable and you’ll love to root for.

This story was so sad but will leave you with a HEA. So don’t fret, just dive write in.
