๐ค๐จ.โ BOOK: Please Donโt Go AUTHOR: @E. Salvador RATING: โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ 5/5 SPICE: ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ๐ถ๏ธ 3/5 Where do I even begin with this book...I was not at all prepared for the emotional toll it would take on me. I thought this would be just another sports romance...black cat meets golden retriever...and trust me...I LOVE THOSE BOOKS...but THIS...this book went way beyond anything I was expecting...I can normally breeze through a book...reading at a steady pace and enjoying every bit of it...but this one made me pause...I had to stop and walk away multiple times because of how raw and real it felt. I will say this...PLEASE, check your trigger warnings. This book deals with very heavy topics and doesn't shy away from the nitty gritty of mental illness and grief...take your time...make sure you are emotionally and mentally in a good place to tackle this before diving in. This book revolves around Danny and Josie...two very different people who share some of the same hurt and pain but carry it very differently. While this book has elements of a sports romance...Josie being a former swimmer and Danny playing baseball...it's definitely focuses more on the relationship and their healing journey...so keep that in mind. Danny is our MMC...hes sunshine and all things good. BIG TIME golden retriever energy...always has a smile on his face and ready to lend a hand to anyone who needs it...but behind the smile, Danni is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders and dealing with the grief of losing his brother. Josie is our FMC...black cat energy and a perma scowl...she keeps everyone at an arms length and while she may not say much, her face betrays all of her emotions and feelings. She too is dealing with grief...the loss of her mother hitting her hard...but also a slew of other things that keep her gasping for air as she tries to reach the surface...wave after wave knocking her down again and again, leaving her feeling hopeless and exhausted. I related to Josie in a way that I both hated and loved. I lost both of my parents at a young age...and even as an adult, I don't think I've still gotten a hold of it...some days are better than others but the pain never ends. I found myself in cycle of darkness that never seemed to end and left me wishing for the end every day...so reading Josie and her pain and desperation to just have it all end, broke my heart...I wanted to reach through the book and hug her and tell her to hold on... Josie and Danny meet one night on a cliff...one one of the darkest days of Josie's life...they spend the night with each other talking until the sun comes up...Danny cant forget her...Josie doesn't want to remember him...but fate has other ideas. They find themselves face to face again as they both attend the same university...a slow and hesitant friendship blooming. Danny finds he can open up to Josie...having shared similar experiences, he feels like she can understand him better than anyone...he doesn't feel judged and is able to put the fake smiles away and be raw and real with her.

The burn is slow, but appropriately slow...they go from strangers to friends to lovers...the tension, the yearning, the soft moments of self discovery and realization leading to them finally admitting how much the want and NEED each other... This isn't a thing where they use each other to "get better". This is a relationship where two broken people find comfort in each other...and learn how to navigate life and their pasts along side each other...accepting that it won't be easy, but it is worth it...because they are worth it.

Now...the SPICE...I was NOT PREPARED! Danny came in HOT and I was SAT! Like...say less Danny....say less. ๐ฅต๐ฅต๐ฅต Danny and Josie together were immaculate...it's like they immediately knew each others bodies and knew exactly what the other needed and how to give it to them.

The way Danny loves her is something so gentle and so beautiful...little things from love notes around the house...letting her know that she is loved and he is happy to have her around...flowers for no reason...cooking for her so she can have real meals instead of take out 24/7. They both take care of each other in ways that they never knew they needed...

They both have super strong friend groups who are very very supportive...I loved how everyone knew that Josie and Danny were meant to be...and they just sat around smiling waiting for these two to catch up!๐๐

Josie is a bit of a harder nut to crack. She's so used to keeping to herself and keeping people out...she doesn't understand why Danny cares...but, she eventually learns to trust him...letting him in and accepting his care and affections for her. He sees her, the REAL her...and encourages her to lean into that and reminds her every day that she isn't alone and never has to be again.
