This book was a complete emotional rollercoaster!

Effie is literally down in the dumps, she can't catch a break. Her former best friend got promoted and engaged, her tinder date thinks she's someone else and she's still living at home. That is until she meets Theo, this complete stranger who comes into her life and changes everything. He gives her hope and goals. He believes in her however he has his own secrets.

I will admit it took me a very long time to get into this book, I almost DNF however the need to find out what Theos secret was strong haha! I couldn't connect with the characters, I thought Effie was extremely selfish and rude. She is constantly angry and I genuinely don't know why Theo put up with her rudeness. Theo is sweet, fun, and charming you can't help but love him! He really helps Effie with her goals and also with her dependence on alcohol.
There are a lot of hard topics within this book such as suicide and depression. Some parts were extremely hard to read. In saying this the writer did write these parts with empathy and care.

This book is very well written, as I previously stated the main reason that I continued reading this book was to uncover Theo's secret. (no spoilers here) haha!

I enjoyed the mysterious aspect of this book, however, this book was not for me.
