Customer Reviews

Amber is an incredible writer.

I couldn't put this book down. Amber is an incredible easy to read writer! I bought all of her books.

Great story

It’s worth buying. I couldn’t put it down, read it in 2 days.

Amazing

The book tells a story that's relatable, and moves you to tears or makes you angry. For her and yourself.

Couldn’t put it down!!

I absolutely loved this book, it’s a page turner! It’s such a heartbreaking book yet so relatable. Eden deserved so much better :(

I cried and felt so emotionally connected to Edy

I bought this book based off a tiktok recc and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed how author split the book into high school grades because I understood the development of each character. Not going to lie I didn't think this book was going to make me feel as EMOTIONAL AS IT DID. Edy DESERVED LOVE, even though the way things played out, in my eyes she always deserved so much more than what she thought she did. I highly recommend this book and some tissues :))))))

Beyond amazing

This is by far one of my favorite books and I can’t count how many times I’ve read it over. I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend. This is an amazing book that is extremely well written and makes you feel every emotion. Love love love it.
