I'll Kiss All Your Wounds

Whew this book is HEAVY!
I’m in desperate need of a rom-com after finishing it. To be fair it seems like my last few reads have been heavy but baby this is not for the faint of heart.Ocean had been THROUGH it! Life absolutely seemed to show her no mercy in her 27 years. From no good parents, to a true snake of a so-called best friend, and Irv! It’s like every person she ever cared about preyed on her struggles and insecurities. I truly felt for her in my soul every time she considered succumbing to her struggles.Enter Lyfe who fully and truly lived up to his name. I adored him. He saw past Ocean’s past, right through her struggles to the core of who she was. The way he took care of his brother and would not let up on Ocean was beautiful. The man is just an amazing specimen of a human being. I also personally appreciate that Lyfe didn’t become her crutch! He wasn’t trying to fix up this tattered woman into his perfect little foldable doll. Lyfe really wanted Ocean to be at her best and to know she was not her past, she could be whoever she wanted to be in the present and he would rock with her no matter what!I love how everything was wrapped up. Landon’s growth and permission for Ocean to be Lyfe’s girlfriend was adorable! Ivory went out bad but low key that’s what she gets for being a snake. Same for Irv. Karma truly was a bi$@# in this thing! Beautifully written worth every second of reading time!

Heart warming
I loved this story. It was raw, intense, mouth dropping, and beautiful. Lyfe spoke life into Ocean. Loved get beyond her troubles and held her down when no one else would even with barely knowing her. We all need a Lyfe in our lives. This was beautiful.

Lyfe x Ocean 🫶🏾
I honestly wasn’t sure about this but I stayed the course and I’m glad I did. Ocean had lived a hell of life full of trauma abandonment and addiction. I will say she got on my nerves sometimes one minute she’s strong and fighting for her sobriety and the next minute she’s ready to throw her life away. I’m just glad she got it together and came out on top.Lyfe was everything. So admirable for the way he took on the sole responsibility for his brother. I loved how he loved Ocean flaws and all. The way the two of them met makes for a beautiful love story. I’mso happy they both got their HEA together 🫶🏾

Kiss me until I heal!
Oooh I loved this book and wish I would have read it sooner! First I love the social disorder representation and family dynamics of addicts. No one can do a ghetto, swoon worthy love story like Ms. Jessica N Watkins! Lyfe gave me life! LOL. He was a true real man and I respect Ocean was always wanting better and staying truth to herself even with a few hiccups. And I am so proud of Landon. This will most definitely be a reread!💛💚💙🎨

4.5 Stars ⭐️
I really enjoyed this novel. Ocean is a young woman in a lonely marriage. To pass time she does Uber and one day she picks up this passenger that she instantly has chemistry went. As their Uber ride continued- I was thinking “oh these two have some cute chemistry going on” but then things quickly change. What started as a great day of undeniable chemistry ended up being one that would change Ocean and Lyfe’s life.Lyfe recognized Ocean’s sadness almost immediately. He also accepted her fully even though she had a very troubled past. I love how he treated Ocean and how affirmed her. Lyfe also had some things going on. When his mom died, he became the caregiver for his Autistic brother Landon. He made dangerous sacrifices to ensure he was able to provide the care that Landon needed. He was such a selfless character and I loved how his life changed beautifully in the end 🖤 he deserved it!

liked it
I liked it. And this author is def 1-click status. Probably only one of a few that I will read on release day even if it is an unfinished series. Wtbs... this wasn't one of my favorites. It was a little bit slower than a lot of the others I've read from her and while the drama was deep, it wasn't all crazy or anything lol. I did find myself skipping through some parts but again that's bc it's not what I am used to reading from her.
