Ugh I LOVED THIS BOOK.

Katia Rose knows how to write a story. I’ve read every book of hers and anytime I see a new one come out, I have to get my hands on it.

Honestly, this one was my favorite yet. Marie-Eve and Maddie were such lovable characters and they really showed your last doesn’t define your future. They both grew so much from when they were younger, and looked past the problems there were.

Their love for one another was so sweet and I seriously couldn’t put this book down. It wasn’t just about their love, but also about finding themselves when they least expect it, and with someone they least expected.

My heart was RACING reading this, giiiiiirl was I so stressed.

Not only was they’re plenty of fingernail biting moments, it kept you interesting continuously. The timeline flowed pretty well, it felt a bit quick at first but evened out by the end.

I know absolutely NOTHING about rock climbing or really any extreme sport, but I can assume Nicole Disney did her research because it seemed like it.

I had a love-hate relationship with Alex. Kinda wanted to smack her, kinda wanted to give her a big hug. Mia has my HEART though, I loved her character and her story was so beautiful.

One thing I didn’t love, and is why the book didn’t get 5 stars, was the writing style. It’s becoming more popular I feel, and it’s when sentences are one to two words to dramatize the scene or whatever. But I’m not a fan of that kind of writing, it feels somewhat like a short cut to making things seem more intense. It just ends up being annoying.

Overall I loooooved this story, which I knew I would. Whenever I see Nicole Disney’s name I have to pick up the book because I know it’ll be a solid one.

Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes for the arc!
