Omg, I can't believe Lisina has only written two books because I need more immediately. The time jump following TBLOS was done so well and I enjoyed that the first book showcased some of Maddie's childhood. I was excited for her book immediately after being introduced to her. This was just as emotional, heart-wrenching, and swoon-worthy as Grace and Cal's story and I loved it. Maddie and James had immediate chemistry and their tension as physical therapist and patient was perfect. I also thought the age gap was done well and I didn't mind it here. Their love story was exceptional and I enjoyed how they went from friends to lovers. the pacing was nice and the development was beautiful. Also, to no one's surprise, this book had me crying. I couldn't help but feel for these characters from all the trauma to the vulnerability. They were so well-matched and the spice and passion were better because of that connection. I absolutely adore Lisina's books and I can't wait to see what she'll do next!
