The people we love are thieves. They steal our hearts. They steal our breath. They steal our sanity. And we let them. Over and over and over again. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * They say you never forget your first love. Mine was a homeless musician who wandered straight into my soul. He was my first everything. And fourteen years later, I still can't get him out of my head. He broke all my rules. He also broke my heart. I watched him climb to stardom, cheering him on from afar. But I was never a fan; just a girl in love. Like a tornado, he spiraled, leaving a path of destruction in his wake. But love conquers all, right? It has to. Because here I stand, ravaged and ruined, needing it to be true. We can't go back, but I want to. Back to the park. Back to when he sang only for me. Before he was famous. Before he shattered my heart. I thought I knew everything about him. But I could not have been more wrong. He promised me every tomorrow. And here I am, waiting. And hoping. Again.

Five stars because the writing is good and Evan/Blue's serious mental health issues aren't something often seen in a hero. The story goes to some pretty dark places — content warning: a suicide attempt — and the relationship between him and Piper moves through some very unhealthy phases, but I always got the sense that both main characters loved each other and meant well toward each other, even when they were doing/saying something not-so-right. The big thing that sealed it as a 5-star read for me was that the ending wasn't mental health issues are cured by love but instead a much more realistic lifelong medication and therapy will be part of our HEA.
I usually can't stand the secret baby trope, but in this case it gets an okay from me because she had no way to reach him and would have told him if she could have.
