**I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review**Definitely not what I was expecting, but I loved it! 4.5 stars!Rehab seems to be the most unconvential place for two people to meet and start a love story. But I also feel like its very realistic. People spiral into addiction for all sorts of reasons. Why can't two people who are in difficult situations find eachother and be eachothers' anchors?I focused less on the unexpected and more on the heartfelt connection of Hart and Elle. Elle is in rehab because she has turned to addiction to cope with a tragedy for which she blames herself. Hart is in rehab because it's the only stability he knows, his struggle has been lifelong.You can tell these two characters are both good people, so you desperately want them to find happiness. Most therapists would likely tell two addicts fresh out of rehab to stay far away from eachother. Well, it's fiction so I want Elle and Hart to get as close as possible, lol.There parts of the plot that are very far fetched, but they bind this story together. If it was written differently, it would be a completely different book, so I wouldn't change them.The story is very well written and the characters are likeable despite their struggles. Addiction is a very dark and hopeless situation. I like to think this story is possible and that two people can come out the other side happy and maintain healthy "normal" lives.
