The antagonists in the story were a little too over the top for me. I enjoyed all the songs and artists referenced and the way they were tied into the story. I loved Oliver’s parents and their romance. She was supportive and gave great advice. And Emery’s neighbor/therapist was the therapist everyone hurting should have.

With no one to help them-no support system-any unexpected expense or late bill could turn their whole world upside down. Raising her daughter is both her pleasure and her pain as she struggles to hold on to her job as a bartender and keep a roof over their heads. Emery finds him first.Įmery has never felt more alone. Since the death of his twin brother, Oliver’s caught between pleasing his fans and finding himself. CW: Death, Depression, Mental and Physical Abuse, Mention of Rape
