this book was an absolute monstrosity. sure, the cover and title were pretty but this book was absolutely horrible.
obviously, first off, the age gap. 19 and 29?? really?? not to mention leah has had a crush on axel since she was 16 which is WILD, also considering how her friend knows and literally ENCOURAGES? her? like hello? your (16 year old) friend is crushing on a 26 y/o?? it baffles me how during this story, leah goes to school, she hangs out with friends, etc. and axel has a full blown JOB. crazy.
it also stuns me how for a good entire 3/4 of the book, axel still sees leah as a little sister, and then all of a sudden, after one night, woahh, she’s suddenly a woman, he falls in love!
axel is also so ridiculously insensitive. yes, he’s impatient, but does he really have to push someone who’s literally been through a traumatic experience? not to mention he physically restrains leah when she tries to avoid something triggering? he keeps making leah go out and do things bc it will “heal� her, even though he is by no means a professional, and even her therapist was saying she needs time to herself to heal. yet, lo and behold, it works. leah is healed. this whole book was giving the guy cures the girl of her mental health problems.
axel is so selfish and clearly does not care about anyone, whether it be his family or friends. he really doesn’t. even when he says he’s doing what’s best for leah� is he really?
this was so ridiculous i can’t believe i finished all 400+ pages. i don’t recommend....more
