Mallory Dodge is starting her last year of high school, which is a big step because she’s been homeschooled for some time. It’s when she sees her long-lost friend in her new school, that resurfaces hurtful memories that she’s tried to bury. Although she’s happy to see Rider Stark, everything in her life says to run away. Especially when she starts to develop feelings for him…

A bit of a heavy book, has lots of mental health representation, and makes readers aware of topics such as abuse, drug trafficking, and PTSD. The reason I did not love this book is that it was a little different than I had expected. The romance in this book is amazing and I personally loved the friends to strangers to lovers trope. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an emotional, deep read, with romance and mental health representation.
