Review by Twinsie Tenise<\/p>\n

I usually go into books blind but I’ve had a real struggle as of late finding a book to grab my attention. This seems to happen to me a few times a year, as such, I was gathering recs from an MM book group when I happened across this one. I skimmed the blurb and dove in.
\nThere was something about this book. It had my rapt attention from the first page.
\nThe title should have been enough of a warning that my heart may end up breaking but the author managed to fix that before the last page. Mental illness is nothing to be taken lightly and I feel like the author did a wonderful job of handling the subject with finesse. Please read the author note as the subjects covered in this book may be triggering to some.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
