[J.N. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fist and foremost the title pulled me in. The plot is real world and messy like life is but there is a light at the end of the thorny tunnel for Libby and Max but not without fighting for it. At times you want to knock some sense into Libby but sometimes in life we’re irrational and working off of the fumes of previous hurts. Libby is no different. The path to their HEA is muddled with misunderstandings and presumptions but in the end, love wins. Buckle in for a bumpy ride.
