This book was definitely darker than other books written by Kent but it was beautifully crafted. Now I do want to make it clear that some things in this book might be triggering to some so please do you research on them before reading this book.

I did not feel an instant connection with this book like I did with others but I still really enjoyed reading it. In fact, there was a point where I just could Not put the book down. I truly loved this read and I will surely read it again in the future.

James and Madison definitely had a different, more painful type of story. But I do believe the pacing of this book was perfect. I don’t think anything was rushed and I actually enjoyed seeing how these characters slowly fell in love. I think about this being Kent’s debut book and I’m just shocked. This book was beautiful written, even the dark and vulnerable moments.

If you’re considering reading this, I definitely recommend it but please make sure you’re comfortable with the contents of it. Always make sure to read the possible triggers of books before starting them!
