It was one of those books that I saw a video on TikTok hyping I thought it sounded good and picked up and finally started reading it. It ended up being really good and hard to put down, but it is a tragic love story that spans over decades of Maddie and Hendrix's lives. It is a standalone and does end with an HEA, but we go through so much with these two to get to that point. Even though it is a standalone some things were looking back that I wish were expanded a little bit more such as what all happened during those 6 years, they were apart. Especially with Hendrix since he was the one that was wrapped up in his father's issues and we ultimately don't see that side of the story I really wish we got to at least have flashbacks to that time and how he handled it because even though they were apart for 6 years it sounds like he was able to start looking for her after a few months and I just needed some of that actually shown versus told about.
