I always look forward to verse novels because they usually dig deep into the motion and this one was terrific. Elly and Trav have a long and complicated history. When they get stuck in an elevator together after not seeing each other for a while, eventually, all the secrets come pouring out of Elly. But between the big reveals we get insight into her past, flashbacks that show when and how everything started to go wrong. I felt her pain and walked in her shoes. Did she make mistakes? Sure. But that just made her more human.At times I was slightly confused as to whether I was in the past or the present but it was soon cleared up. This did not prevent my overall enjoyment of the story at all. In fact, when I reached the end, I was like NOOOOO I want to know more. But this verse novel was to share a moment, a short time when two people who needed to talk happened to get stuck in the elevator together. I'd like to say it was coincidence, which I loved because Elly struggles with the guilt that her truth telling in the past caused bad things to happen. Her therapist told her it was coincidence. Don't get me wrong. The story ended. There was no cliffhanger, but I'd still like to know what happened in the next phase of their life.
