The kind of book that makes you feel everything!

"There were moments I was genuinely kicking my feet and smiling, and others where I had to pause to wipe away tears. It pulls you fully into the emotional world of its characters and stays with you long after you put it down. What I loved most is that this isn’t a typical romance. The story between Merit and Andi explores the complexity of love - how past experiences shape us, how relationships can be both messy and tender, and how choosing someone isn’t always simple. The characters feel deeply human and that’s what makes their connection so compelling. One of the most beautiful choices the author makes is never describing what the characters look like. Instead, the focus stays on who they are rather than their physical appearance, allowing the reader’s imagination to fill in the gaps. It’s an intentional and thoughtful decision that made me feel even more connected to the story. I also found myself completely invested in the side characters, especially Amelia and Will. Their relationship and friendship dynamics added so much depth that I kept wanting to know more about their story beyond the pages. This book is beautifully written and you can feel the care and love put into every line. I highlighted countless passages that made me think ‘this is the kind of love I hope to experience someday’. It captures not only romantic love, but also the importance of friendship and emotional connection in such a meaningful way. I’m already highly anticipating what comes next. If this book is any indication, Lexa Bobenic has so much more to say - and I can’t wait to read it."
