From the author of The Bright Years, the story of April and Leo, a couple on the brink of collapse. When their house goes up in flames, family secrets and thorny histories emerge as they are forced to decide what is worth salvaging.
When April and Leo’s house burns in the middle of the night, they escape with their two young children and the quiet knowledge that the fire is not the only thing threatening their family. They retreat to April’s childhood home in Dallas, where her spirited parents and siblings provide both comfort and complication.
As the family reckons with the aftermath—grief, guilt, logistics, and memories scorched and intact—the fire exposes the cracks already forming in April and Leo’s marriage. The novel unfolds in alternating perspectives: from April, who feels the crushing weight of motherhood, marriage, and self-blame; from Leo, a high school history teacher shaped by a lonely, fractured childhood; from Deb, April’s generous and no-nonsense mother who has to contend with her husband’s recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis; and from flashbacks that trace April and Leo’s relationship from its earliest days of connection to the devastating decisions that led them here.
A family saga suffused with humor, longing, and heartbreak, The Burning Side is about what we inherit and what we choose, about forgiveness and the ache of being known. It is, above all, about the meaning of home and the costs of long love.

I know it’s way too early to declare that I’ve found the best book of 2026, but I’m going to say it anyway—and I will stand by it. This book is a MASTERPIECE.
The characterization is so flawless, so deeply human, that every single character feels like someone you know—someone you love. They feel like family members you want to spend time with: firing up the grill for a backyard barbecue, dancing in the kitchen to “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” devouring the pastries Deb lovingly bakes, doing puzzles with Sadie, belting out “Summer Nights” from Grease with Josie, or cuddling sweet little Otto. These people crawl into your heart and stay there.
This book will tear you apart, shatter your heart into a million sharp glass pieces, and leave you crying until you’re certain there can’t possibly be a single tear left to shed. And yet—somehow—it is also comforting, hopeful, and deeply affirming. It reminds you of love, tenderness, and self-worth. It paints a breathtaking portrait of a family that is far from perfect but achingly real: messy, warm, silly, supportive, deeply flawed, and endlessly kind.
The story opens with pure devastation. In the middle of the night, April flees her burning house, clutching her baby in one arm and the book her husband has written in the other. Moments later, Leo emerges from the flames carrying their daughter. Everyone is safe—but nothing else is. April is in shock, because the fire is her fault. She had been boiling pasta when Leo asked for a divorce. In that moment, everything inside her froze. She forgot the stove. She forgot herself. She floated outside her own body and watched as the home they built, the life they shared, and the marriage they nurtured went up in flames together.
With nowhere else to go, April and Leo move into her parents’ home while dealing with the aftermath. Leo hesitates. Living with the Russo family—Deb and Billy—means confronting a truth he’s been avoiding for years: they are the only real family he’s ever known. His own parents abandoned him, leaving him to be raised by an aunt before cutting ties completely. Deb and Billy never treated him like a son-in-law—they treated him like their fourth child, offering unconditional love, protection, and belonging. Walking away from April means walking away from all of them: from Deb, Billy, and from April’s siblings, Josie and Cameron, who became his own family along the way.
As April and Leo try to maintain appearances for the sake of their children, buying time while waiting to learn whether the house can be salvaged, Leo remains determined to end the marriage. April, desperate and heartbroken, begs him to see things from her side. During this fragile time, Deb quietly carries the weight of a painful truth—a serious health issue affecting Billy that she has been shielding the family from in an attempt to protect them. When this reality finally surfaces, it shakes everyone to the core and forces each character to confront what truly matters.
Life, as this book so beautifully reminds us, doesn’t deliver pain or joy in neat packages. Triumphs and tragedies arrive side by side: new job opportunities, unexpected successes, marriage proposals, a child’s magical first visit from the tooth fairy—alongside heartbreak, illness, loss, and unbearable truths. Yet through it all, the bonds of family are tested, stretched, and—sometimes—made even stronger.
Houses can burn. Marriages can fracture. Hearts can break. Memories can fade. Tears will fall. But real love—the kind rooted in trust, loyalty, and deep understanding—can survive even the fiercest storms. The question is: will they survive this one?
There were moments when I wanted to shake both April and Leo and scream at them to stop being so stubborn—especially Leo. I rooted for them with my whole heart. Deb and Billy absolutely stole the show for me: watching them grow, support one another, and face life with quiet strength was profoundly moving.
The final chapters broke me… and then gently put me back together again. I felt everything at once: sorrow, love, reality’s harsh truths, illness, healing, trust, loyalty—and life itself, with all its brutal beauty and unexpected grace.
No more words. This isn’t just my favorite book of 2026 so far—it has already secured a place among my all-time favorite books.
If you don’t read this book—if you don’t buy a copy immediately or at least add it to your TBR—I will personally come to your house and sing “Dream a Little Dream of Me” at full volume until your ears bleed. (I have a lot of travel miles and an Uber discount.) Trust me, my voice is terrible. To avoid this fate, please just buy the book.
(That last sentence was delivered in my most professional customer-service tone.)
Millions of thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for providing me with this MASTERPIECE’s digital reviewer copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Digital ARC provided by NetGalley and Simon and Schuster. All opinions are my own.
Some novels move you while you're reading them. Others linger long after the final page.
The Burning Side by Sarah Damoff firmly belongs to the latter. All the stars! 😭
Opening with a devastating house fire that irrevocably alters the lives the Russo/Torres family- the novel traces the emotional aftermath through three alternating perspectives, Leo, April and Deb.
What unfolds is not simply a story about tragedy, but about consequence — how grief reshapes relationships, how families fracture and endure, and how love persists even when understanding feels out of reach.
Damoff's greatest strength lies in her character work. Each perspective is rendered with such depth and compassion that the characters feel believably real.
I found myself thinking about Leo and April even after picking up another book, mentally returning to their choices and emotional journeys as though they existed beyond the confines of the story.
Deb's chapters resonated especially deeply with me. Her portrayal captures, with remarkable honesty, the quiet emotional weight mothers often carry - so much given, so much absorbed, often without recognition.
Reading her perspective left me reflecting on and appreciating my own mother in ways I hadn't expected.
One of the novel's most impressive achievements is how it gently dismantles the reader's instinct to judge. I initially struggled with certain decisions - particularly April's actions and Leo's reactions — yet as the narrative expands, understanding replaces certainty.
Damoff allows space for contradiction and humanity, reminding us that people are rarely defined by their worst moments. By the novel's midpoint, I wasn't evaluating these characters anymore; I was rooting for all of them.
Though sparked by a singular tragedy, the emotional core of The Burning Side feels profoundly universal: life happens, mistakes happen, and love ultimately becomes a choice made repeatedly in imperfect circumstances.
I cried and sobbed throughout much of this story— not from manipulation, but from recognition. ❤️🩹
My digital ARC from Simon & Schuster is heavily highlighted, and I'm already looking forward to revisiting it in physical form.
With back-to-back five-star reads, Sarah Damoff has secured a place on my auto-read author list. I cannot recommend this novel highly enough.
Yeee! Simon and Schuster how I loveeee theee! I HAD plans for another book tonight lol but getting this arc might have changed them… 💖

Absolutely incredible.
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I feel so incredibly lucky to be living in a world where I get to experience stories like these. I was lucky enough to arc read Sarah Damoff's debut, The Bright Years, last year (please go read it) and it was my top read of 2025. So imagine my EXTREME excitement when the publisher sent me The Burning Side to arc read as well. I had a little cry and immediately dived back into the world and writing of one of my favorite authors. I know we are only in January but I'm telling you right now, The Burning Side will be in my top books of 2026. This book was everything to me. This book reminded me why I love reading so much and the portrayals of love, grief, happiness, sacrifice, and vulnerability made me sob so many times. This book is a true treasure.
The Burning Side is the story of a married couple, April and Leo, who are on the brink of collapse. The books begins with gut-wrenching devastation as their family home burns in the middle of the night. The scenes of April and Leo running out of the house clutching their children were so visceral and heartbreaking. In the aftermath, April is stuck in time after the fire because she blames herself. The night before Leo tells her he wants a divorce and in a daze of shock April forgets to turn off the stove. One small mistake turns into everything they knew into flames. Now forced to abandon their home, the family finds themselves retreating back to April's parents house in Dallas as they try to salvage not only their home but their marriage.
This book shines in its characterization and the synopsis says it best. "Told in alternating perspectives: from April, who feels the crushing weight of motherhood, marriage, and self-blame; from Leo, a high school history teacher shaped by a lonely, fractured childhood; from Deb, April’s generous and no-nonsense mother who has to contend with her husband’s recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis; and from flashbacks that trace April and Leo’s relationship from its earliest days of connection to the devastating decisions that led them here." Living with April's parents brings a whole new set of challenges, tension, and complications to the family but I loved getting all the context to each of the characters through their perspectives and the flashbacks.
In the wake of Billy's diagnosis, the family begins to confront and question what really matters. This book reminds us just how fragile, beautiful, and devastating life can be at times. It captures both the complexities and still moments of familial relationships: grilling in the backyard, quiet sacrifices, mornings with the tooth fairy, and unimaginable hardships. Sarah's writing was so honest and respectful to the topics in the book and filled with emotion on every page. The ending chapters absolutely broke me but also made me feel so hopeful. We only get one life to live and this book is a gentle reminder to do just that, live.
Where The Bright Years feels like hit after hit leaving you in a sobbing mess, The Burning Side is a quiet heartbreak that unravels over the course of the book. It is a breathtaking portrayal of a family that is deeply flawed, messy, real but also comforting, warm, silly, and so so supportive of each other in every avenue. It is a beautifully written book that will stay with my forever.
Thank you endlessly to Simon & Schuster and Sarah Damoff for the eARC in exchange for my review. I already have my copy pre ordered and I truly cannot recommend this book enough! Sarah Damoff has solidified herself as of one my all-time favorite authors with The Burning Side and I feel so lucky I got to read this early 💖

I loved Damoff's debut novel,The Bright Years so I was excited to dive into her sophomore effort, The Burning Side
Imagine this: the very same day your husband asks for a divorce, your house burns down. This catastrophe forces April, Leo, and their two young children to move in with April’s mother in Dallas to essentially rebuild their lives from scratch.
The story follows April and Leo as the fire exposes the deep-seated issues they’ve been grieving, along with the past family traumas Leo has never quite overcome. The contrast between them is stark: It’s such a poignant touch to have the physical "burning" of the house mirror the internal "burning" of their marriage.
April has lived an idyllic life raised by two amazing parents. Leo, conversely, was handed off to an unloving aunt and uncle at a young age.
The narrative jumps back and forth, allowing us to discover the genuine love they once shared, and the eventual blow-up that tore them apart.
This is a fairly well-written tale of family, love, and the fragile nature of happiness. My only issue is that the ending felt a bit rushed. I found it resolved rather quickly and personally wanted a little more "burn" to the resolution. However, it remains a quick, engaging read for anyone who loves a solid family drama!

Sarah Damoff is quickly becoming one of my new favorite authors. This story was heartbreaking, yet so human and so beautiful. I couldn’t put it down. The Bright Side is still my favorite, but if you enjoyed her debut you’ll love this one as well. Her writing is poetic and emotional, which packs quite the punch.

This book has some content warnings, so take care if needed. It deals with a marriage in crisis, Alzheimer’s, and some other tough topics. I do feel they were all handled with much care, however.

The Burning Side will without a doubt be one of my top (if not THE top) reads of 2026. This was one of those reading experiences that reminded me just why I adore reading so much. Everything felt so authentic, and depicted so many unique forms of grief, happiness, and vulnerability that made me sob. I rarely say this, but I will 100% reread this because I need more time to sit with all of the profound moments tucked into this treasure of a book.
Thank you, Simon & Schuster for the ARC of Sarah’s masterpiece ✨ please, everyone - read this when it’s released in June!

Wow! One thing Sarah Damoff clearly wasn't going to do was fall victim to the sophomore slump, because man this was good! The Bright Years was one of my top 2025 reads so I knew I had to read this book immediately. Zero regrets, would do again.
I loved everything about this - the drama, how messy and imperfect the characters were, the supportive family and just how real every person in this novel felt. April and Leo had their problems and while I often wanted to shake them, I wanted to hug them even more. I really liked that this book switched between the past and present because we got their full story and dug that much deeper. I also loved the chapter's from April's mom's perspective and how we got her history and present state as well - it didn't take away from April and Leo at all and actually added a lot of value to their love story.
Read this the second you can.

This was another beautiful novel by Sarah Damoff and once again she explored themes of family and love with remarkable depth and sensitivity. The story captured the complexities of familial relationships—the quiet sacrifices, enduring bonds, and inevitable hardships that families experience over time. The writing was beautifully crafted, both honest and compassionate, and it conveyed emotion with a subtlety that felt deeply authentic. I found the book profoundly moving and was brought to tears on several occasions. It is a powerful and thoughtfully written reflection on love, loss, and the shared human experience within families. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC.

I fell in love with Sarah Damoff’s writing when I read The Bright Years, so I was incredibly grateful to receive an ARC of The Burning Side through NetGalley and the publisher.
This book is filled with absolutely hard-hitting quotes about time, the weight of memories, and the complicated love of family.
I finished this book with such a heavy heart. There’s a lingering sadness that settles once the story ends, that only comes from characters who feel deeply real. April, Deb, Billy and Leo I want to give you a hug. I didn’t always agree with the choices they made, but that honestly made me love them more. Their decisions felt messy, human, and authentic in a way that mirrors reality.
The characters and their relationships will stay with me for a long time. I truly feel like I could have read another 100 pages just living in this world with the Russo’s and Torres’s. I can’t wait until my grandma’s read this so we can talk about this story.
Another beautiful & emotional story from Damoff, one that reminded me how fragile time is and how much our memories and families shape who we are and who we are yet to become.

The Burning Side completely captivated me. There’s so much I could say about this book and yet it feels impossible to fully capture what makes it so special.
I won’t go into many details because this is the kind of story that’s best experienced firsthand. It’s highly emotional, beautifully written, and deeply moving.
What makes Sarah Damoff’s writing stand out is her ability to take a small, everyday moment and magnify it, revealing just how monumental those fleeting moments can be. She explores both sides of the coin, the beauty and the pain, with remarkable nuance. The result is a cast of complex, deeply human characters and a story that feels intimately familiar, like it could belong to you, someone you love or someone you once knew. Her words transcend the page and resonate in a visceral way.
Some stories simply settle into your bones. This is one of them.

Sarah Damoff, quite simply, has a gift.
As she showed us in The Bright Years, she can take a simple, every day story of a family, and turn it into something remarkable. She does it again in The Burning Side, a book that had me up sobbing past my bedtime as I contemplated death and youth and aging and sickness and health and sacrifice and misunderstanding and love and LIFE and all the choices that we make along the way.
April and Leo are young parents on the brink of divorce when they wake to their house in flames. They make it out with their children, then we come alongside them as they consider rebuilding or walking away. As they literally and figuratively sort through the pieces of their life, they also have to face April’s dad’s recent diagnosis with early onset Alzheimer’s and how that impacts the entire family, especially April’s mom, Deb.
This is all woven together seamlessly through POVs from April, Leo, and Deb (past and present) to make a beautiful, thought-provoking story. The characters feel so realistic, the circumstances relatable, the conflict authentic. The writing itself is perfect. The nods to fire throughout the book were BRILLIANT because of course they are (HELLO it’s Queen Sarah we are talking about here).
In short - an incredible book. I (obviously) loved this one and highly recommend pre-ordering it now so that you can have it in your hands the second it comes out in June.

This was an amazing story about family, love, loss, betrayal, and forgiveness. I loved hearing from all the different characters'and going back and forth in time to give context. I loved the lessons about family and love and how a different perspective can change a story for better or worse.
I loved everything about this book. I will be thinking about it for a long time.

THIS BOOK. Deserves. All. The hype.
It’s the kind of sweeping family saga that completely pulls you in and refuses to let go. And that ending? Have tissues within arm’s reach.
The writing is absolutely phenomenal. It’s immersive, layered, and beautifully crafted. Every character feels real and fully formed, with motivations and flaws that make the drama hit even harder. The emotional range is unmatched. One chapter will have you smiling at tender, quiet moments; the next will leave you blinking back tears.
This is 100% a “read-with-a-friend” kind of book. I’m so grateful to my friend for buddy-reading this with me because I needed someone to process all that chaos and heartache in real time.

I enjoyed it and also had a lot of mixed feelings about this one. I’ll start off by saying that I loved Damoff’s debut novel, The Bright Years so much. It was one of my favorites last year.
The Burning Side has the same gorgeous prose with touching moments. It’s very bingeable and had me VERY emotional. There was a LOT explored here from infidelity to postpartum to Alzheimer’s and many other pieces to bring the drama and the captivating storyline.
I loved the parents, Deb and Billy. I shed many a tear over their storyline and POVs and those characters were written beautifully. The realness of their relationship and the bits and pieces we saw over time were so endearing and a testament to the power of enduring love.
My biggest qualm is that I didn’t ever really connect to the main characters that were part of the marriage in crisis, April and Leo. I understand that people aren’t perfect, but these two and their lack of communication were really hard to read. I also felt like we didn’t get to know them well enough, especially Leo.
The juxtaposition between poor Mexican American, Leo, and spoiled white girl, April was hard to read at points, and there were certain times where I didn’t feel like it was handled the best. There was also mention of Chick fil A, Hobby Lobby, and a Back the Blue sticker. I get we are in Texas, but I’m not interested on more attention brought to those things right now.
Overall, a lot to love, and people are going to love it. It just had some hiccups for me.

The Burning Side by Sarah Damoff is a quietly beautiful family drama. Unlike with her first novel, The Bright Side, which ripped my heart out in a more blatant way, Ms Damoff gradually pulled me into this story until the various characters became unforgettable. The characters are written with such depth and in such an authentic way that I found parts of myself in many of them. The way that she explores the themes of motherhood, marriage, health, aging, and death is extraordinary precisely because it is so relatable.
I loved how Ms Damoff showcased that there are always different sides to every story. The novel is told using the alternating perspectives of mom Debra, daughter April, and April’s husband Leo (past and present). The different perspectives gave me a better understanding of their actions and relationships, even when I didn’t agree with their behavior. I identified with April in the way that she was so busy caring for others that she forgot to fill her own cup. And also with Deb whose seemingly perfect marriage was actually built on hard work, dedication, and trust. The way that Deb grew to love her husband over time and willingly sacrifice her dreams of the future after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis was a beautiful tragedy.
I spent a great deal of my reading time highlighting passages full of wisdom and humanity. I found the writing so compelling at times that I had to reread sentences in order to fully appreciate them. I tried my best to take my time and really feel the power of the words. Literary fiction fans, be sure to preorder this unforgettable gem! Available 6/16/26

Another stunning novel by Sarah Damoff, I feel so very privileged to have been able to read this advanced copy - thank you to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I went into this book with sky high expectations after reading and loving The Bright Years last year and I can say with absolute confidence that I am once again blown away by Sarah Damoff! I find her writing incredibly deep, complex and gorgeous while also being very approachable, almost like the writing itself is drawing me further into the story. I highlighted SO many passages - she has a special talent for an absolute banger of a sentence that reads like a gut punch in the best way.
I love the way Sarah writes about family, marriage and parenthood in this book and think it is so relatable regardless of how much the reader might have in common with the characters who were all so easy to love and root for. It is also mind boggling to me that there is so much packed into this story and yet it didn't feel overwhelming at all in length or number of storylines - it was all seamlessly woven together.
If you read The Burning Side you already know that Damoff has a gift for writing challenging storylines and incorporating many different hard paths for her characters. Check trigger warnings for specifics, but know that I felt very safe even while crying my way through this book and the exploration of grief, trauma, reconciliation and more. Yes, it's an emotional roller coaster but one infused with love, purpose, care and hope.
This is a story I wanted to savor and will continue to think about for a long time. This will certainly be one of my top reads of the year and wholeheartedly recommend.
Set primarily in Dallas and Argyle, TX which was so fun for me as a reader - basically my backyard!! Lots of shoutouts to real places and fun to read as a local or on a trip to DFW.

•I don’t even know where to begin. Simply put, Sarah Damoff has an amazing way with words. Last year, I read The Bright Years, and that is still a book a recommend to everyone. And now, I’m so happy I’m also able to recommend The Burning Side.
•The story begins with a house fire. April and Leo escape the flames with their two young children and the clothes on their back. And while a house fire is devastating, it wasn’t nearly as devastating as Leo uttering the words “I want a divorce.” hours before the fire.
•After the fire, the family temporarily moves in with April’s parents, who are overcoming their own marital issues. As Leo and April attempt to rebuild not only their family home but their marriage itself, they’re met with heartache, difficult decisions, and an overwhelming number of memories.
•The story bounces around with multiple perspectives from April, Leo, and April’s mother Deb. This book also covers a span of many years, going all the way back to the time when April’s parents met. These flashbacks are vital to understanding the characters as a whole.
•Sarah Damoff writes the complexities of family better than anyone. Her writing is brilliant and showcases the intricacies of life and relationships in a way that makes me want to slow down and appreciate the world around me.
•Thank you Sarah Damoff, NetGalley, and Simon & Schuster for this ARC. It will become available on June 16, 2026. Until then, add this one to your list and count down the days.

There are some authors who you just know are going to be your favorite.
Sarah Damoff is one of mine.
The Burning Side is raw, emotional, gut wrenching, and so well written. Multiple POVs can be really tricky but Sarah does them with such ease because the story being told needs them. One perspective gives you a snippet of the story but you really need all of them to tell it all. And they feel SO REAL! I forgot at some points this was fiction.
For fans of The Bright Years - get ready for The Burning Side.
Ps Sarah, that ending with April was 😭😭

Review of e-book advance copy received from Netgalley
The Burning Side has emotionally wrecked me. Sarah Damoff pulls us into a marriage already splintering and then quite literally sets it on fire. But while the house burns, what’s truly unraveling is April and Leo’s relationship: years of quiet resentment, exhaustion, guilt, and unspoken grief rising to the surface all at once. The fire may be the catalyst, but the real story is what happens when everything you’ve built, physically and emotionally, is reduced to ash. They are forced to move in with April’s parents in Dallas where the rest of her own family is experiencing their own heartache and joy. And living under one roof with her parents who are navigating their own crisis, including an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, intensifies everything.
I loved Damoff’s use of the alternating multi-generational perspectives of April, Leo, and Deb. This novel captured so much of the invisible weight that families carry such as the mental load of parenthood and the complicated push and pull of hurt and forgiveness in a relationship. I can’t wait until this is published in May so I can get myself a physical copy.

I am so incredibly lucky to be alive and able to read at the same time Sarah Damoff is writing. The way she is able to delicately put into words and stories the complexities of life, love, heartache, and the unimaginable fires that happen is truly a gift.
The way the story was told from so many povs and timelines was so powerful. “The novel unfolds in alternating perspectives: from April, who feels the crushing weight of motherhood, marriage, and self-blame; from Leo, a high school history teacher shaped by a lonely, fractured childhood; from Deb, April’s generous and no-nonsense mother who has to contend with her husband’s recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis; and from flashbacks that trace April and Leo’s relationship from its earliest days of connection to the devastating decisions that led them here.” And BOY is that description right. And each perspective tugged on a different heartstring. 😭😭😭
Where The Bright Years was just catastrophic hit after hit of sadness, this was a slow and deliberate burn, ups and downs, and a reminder that nothing in this world is as cruel or as patient as time. 😭

I read The Bright Years, Damoff’s debut, last year and absolutely *loved* it. When NetGalley was generous enough to also offer me an ARC of this one, I was SO excited, but nervous that it wouldn’t be as amazing.
Well, Sarah Damoff is going to be an auto-buy author for me. Reminiscent of Mary Beth Keane, The Burning Side follows April & Leo, a couple on the brink of divorce whose home burns down. Told through multiple character POVs, this novel touches on some heavy topics such as grief, illness, forgiveness, and the difficulties of marriage. This made me cry, laugh, smile, and everything in between. An absolutely gorgeously written novel that had me highlighting section after section of impeccable prose.
Highly, highly recommend! 👏🏽

A beautifully told story of love, loss, regret, forgiveness, family, parenting and finding oneself among the ashes. So many impossible decisions, conversations and paths to forge as a family divided by a mistake that impacts a home, a marriage, a life. Sarah Damoff is amazingly sensitive and brilliant in the story she tells. Her wit, humor and commitment to the characters is authentic and wise.

This book was literally everything. As soon as I started, I knew I was going to love it. I could not put it down. You get three POV’s and let me just say all three was beautiful. Seeing the things they had to go through in the past and present made me feel like I was there with them. This book just shows that love isn’t always perfect. This story was full of raw emotions and I can’t count how many times I teared up. I can’t wait for this book to hit shelves to get a copy for my library at home.
Thank you Simon & Schuster for the early copy.
