“ “Baby, if it makes you feel better, I’m scared to death right now that I won’t be able to take a breath without you wrapped around me.”
Things We Hide From The Light, ya’ll I WAS NOT READY FOR ALL THE FEELS!
Okay, so let’s get into the review…. Nash was shot back in TWNGO right and he is still dealing with that fall out. New, we meet Lina back in the first book as well, who is Knox’s ex-GF but they were really best friends who decided to date super beefy and it didn’t work out and they are still BF’s. No drama there. When she has her first run in with Nash, he’s in the middle of s full blown panic attack and she helps him. Nash…Nash has been struggling. I mean my boy is riding the depression train HARD and I felt for him and empathized with him SO much throughout this book. If you hav ever had to deal with depression and anxiety, you will feel seen so much. The way Lucy wrote Nash vulnerability was so real and so raw. It was 🤌🏾. Lina, has he own share of issues as well, because of course she does. Lina puts on this hard extra because she was so vulnerable almost her whole life and she has to prove to everyone she’s okay, but Nash, my dude see’s right though that hard shell and gets to that marshmallow center. And of course Knockemout wouldn’t be Knockemout without the town’s crazy residents, from the senior cectizens aerobics class that almost Killed Lina and Stef, to the whole town playing detective. The laughs were a plenty and the steam was steaming. I was Leary how she was gonna top Knox and Naomi but she did. A great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star read gain! Cant wait for Thing We Left Behind, because Lucian and Sloan are gonna burn those pages UP
Amaze balls!! Absolutely. To get the basics out of the way and do what I’m here for, 5 stars. Absolutely and if we can give bonus points to get more stars I would give them all to Darynda Jones; specifically for this book.
I love that you can read Darynda in every book she writes but they are not the same. As I said for A Bad Day for Sunshine, I LOVE Sun and Auri! My top book characters. Their mom-daughter banter and unconditional love will bring me back to reread and re-reread these book.
**Some spoilers as you go on, please be warned….** The first book in the series closed up its plot holes nicely while still leaving more open to continue with the series. So many were closed in this book I wonder what else is going to open in the next book.
Something I’ve been waiting for since the first book happens… Sun and Levi totally and finally get to have sex and it looks like the start of something that should’ve always been.
Cruz. Oh Cruz De Los Santos. I have cried over and over in this book. From Dangerous Daughters and stabbings to doorbells and raccoons this book was amazing (for me at least. Did you see the Amazeballs at the beginning?) and I cannot wait to see where we go from here.
