Milo and Starlet!! Oh this book!! The prologue alone had me in tears. I loved this book. A forbidden romance between Milo and Starlet. Heart wrenching yet sweet. I can't even put it into words. Both have been dealing with grief and heartache and meet each other at the right time in their lives. The characters were just perfect. And Star's dad is just the sweetest and the messages from Milo's mom were just so heartfelt !! I highly recommend reading this!!

I received this book as an arc and this review is my own. Thank you Brittainy and Goodgirls PR.

When @bcherryauthor says this book is filled with ALL THE FEELS, she means it. This book is angsty, filled with grief, heartbreak, love, healing, and everything in between.

Starlet and Milo meet at a college party and think their one-night stand is all they will have. That is, until Starlet walks in to her new student teaching position and sees Milo there. 😬

Starlet and Milo connect over their shared heartbreak and grief, and that makes it harder and harder for them to stay away from each other. Even when they know they should.

It’s hard to say much without giving things away, but I will say this book had some surprising twists and turns. Milo and Starlet have their work cut out for them as they battle their own demons and find a way to happiness. ❤️‍🩹

This book is heavy, but worth it. Check the trigger warnings, but if you can, jump into this story and let yourself feel ALL the feels.
