⤷‧₊˚5⭑ “what are you thinking then?” “that maybe we can meet halfway” As a kid who only had his mother because his father was a huge ass, reading it from a mother's perspective was something new. I really can't describe how much this book means to me. This book deserves so much more than 5 stars and if I could, I certainly would. Madison is one of my top 10 favorite female characters and my favorite fictional mother. I love her so much, she was such a strong character with a big heart who went through a lot and tried everything to make sure her son is fine. Yes, and of course my boy Garrett i love him. He was an asshole at first but his development was so well written and i will never get over how sweet he was to her son.

Ich fand die Beziehung von Maddie und ihrem Sohn super schön dargestellt und die Probleme denen man sich gegenüber sieht, wenn man alleinerziehend ist. Das ganze hat mir leichte Gilmore Girls Vibes gegeben, was ein Riesen Pluspunkt war. Auch die Beziehung zwischen Maddie und Garrett ist richtig gut aufgebaut und wird in Anbetracht ihrer psychischen Probleme nicht erzwungen, sondern den Charakteren Zeit gegeben. Der Schreibstil war schön und flüssig zu lesen und das Pacing war auch gut, sodass es nie langweilig wurde.
