Thank you to Netgalley and One Chapter More Chapter for the eARC! All opinions are my own.
Have some tissues ready!! This is a romance but it also explores the grief of losing a loved one and how to move forward. I didn’t care for the characters very much in the first half. But by the second half I grew to love them both! Fantastic character development for each of them although I felt like we got to know Becca better than Charlie.

The story could drag a bit with how long each chapter is, making it hard to focus at times. I really enjoyed the switching POVs and that we get to see Becca and Charlie over the course of ten years (as the title suggests). Also I’m a sucker for slow burn enemies to lovers, and this one was an extremely slow burn!
Overall an enjoyable read about grief, love, and hope.
