Oh man, the feels in this one. (Observation: somewhere along the way I stopped using the word "feels" ironically, and that bothers me.)
Second chance stories, when there is no cheating involved, are possibly one of the things that make me happiest in romance. And this one is amazing. All the sadness, hurt and regret are palpable, and so is the love, and the secondary characters are ace. And then, after all the pain and hesitation, the ending is essentially the kind of thing that leaves me grinning like a lunatic and feeling good about life.
There's something about dangerbears that keeps me coming back. It's probably the knowledge that for every average story they've written, there's one like this one just waiting to be discovered.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Reading about a break-up we know will bring us to the verge of tears?
Harry and Louis broke up a month ago but are obviously still very much in love with each other. And reading about their inability to live without the other is honestly torture.
The beautiful, poetic writing adds the rest and transports the feelings of utter sadness and loss expertly.
This story just shows how important communication is and that we should never stop talking to each other.
Maybe it's shitty of me to say this, but I had never expected to read this kind of stories. And yet, here I am, swallowing my pride and giving it five stars. My judgmental self got what she deserved. Where do I even start? The writing was phenomenal, and most likely the reason why I loved this story so much. I'm a sucker for gorgeous, poetic writing, and even more if it's the sort that breaks your heart by tearing it apart with every line. I was on the verge of tears too many times for the amount of words I read because the writing was incredibly vivid and breath-taking. I'm kind of hesitant to give it the full rating since I don't just throw five stars around, but I honestly enjoyed it deeply, got all of the feels and I can totally see myself wanting to reread it at some point.
