Ava Chen is a free spirit trapped by nightmares of a childhood she can’t remember.
But despite her broken past, she’s never stopped seeing the beauty in the world…including the heart beneath the icy exterior of a man she shouldn’t want.
Her brother’s best friend.
Her neighbor.
Her savior and her downfall.
Theirs is a love that was never supposed to happen—but when it does, it unleashes secrets that could destroy them both…and everything they hold dear.

✭✭✭✰✰ 3/5
I decided to read this due to booktok, which I'm realizing is not a great or reliable source for book reccomendations.
The amount of childish similies and metaphors is egregous.
Every other page, (or sometimes paragaph,) is littered with the author's poor attempts at description that read as extremely juvenille-like a 6th grader who's just learned the concept of metaphors and similies and needs to write a paper that contains a certain amount to get a good grade. (its not lost on me that I'm using a similie to decribe my distatse for the amount of similies.)
Aside from the childish writing style, the plot is interesting, yes, but towards the last third of the book, a lot of the book begins to feel like repetitive filler, internal monolouges especially.
