They carry these flaws on their shoulders daily and both decided to withdraw from family influences for their own reasons. I can tell you that both characters are flawed.

Let Nina build their story one sad word at a time. Even more so, spoilers on the characters.

This is the type of book that trickle feeds the reader information so it's very easy to give away plot spoilers. I'll preface my review with a word of warning.go in blind. Wow! What an unconventional NA love story! I really enjoyed If.
