Amazing

The book tells a story that's relatable, and moves you to tears or makes you angry. For her and yourself.

Couldn’t put it down!!

I absolutely loved this book, it’s a page turner! It’s such a heartbreaking book yet so relatable. Eden deserved so much better :(

I cried and felt so emotionally connected to Edy

I bought this book based off a tiktok recc and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed how author split the book into high school grades because I understood the development of each character. Not going to lie I didn't think this book was going to make me feel as EMOTIONAL AS IT DID. Edy DESERVED LOVE, even though the way things played out, in my eyes she always deserved so much more than what she thought she did. I highly recommend this book and some tissues :))))))

Could not stop turning the page!

Great book! The author did an amazing job with splitting the book into four sections (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior), it helped me follow along as the main character changed throughout the chapters and her high school career. I wish there was more to the ending of the book. When I finished it left me wanting more, to know what happened after. Easy read though and definitely recommend!

Beyond amazing

This is by far one of my favorite books and I can’t count how many times I’ve read it over. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend. This is an amazing book that is extremely well written and makes you feel every emotion. Love love love it.
