Baby when i say i ate this story up!! Yes ma’am. I’m here the spice, especially since by choice I’m doing the nasty lol. Love the talk of family and mental illness. This was done with care and i got  emotional. Alexandria you be doing the damn thang. 

-Bipolar Disorder 
-Talks of therapy and support group. 
-I love that the sport is not the main focus. It was the same way in the first book. Which i love that. 
-Honey why was i so confused for a moment about their child?! Lol!! I had to go back and make sure i wasn’t tripping. 
-Families with different things going on but are such good friends. 
-Love from a young age but you know they had to pick on each other when they were young. 
-The twin brother, smh. Such a hard thing to read. 
-Atlanta first i thought older Ford was a jerk. However, as the story went along I understood Ford’s frustration and signing. Sometimes you’re so hurt and feel like you’re doing the best you can that you’ll give up. His love was definitely meant for her and vice versa. 
-She had me upset too especially the teenage/young adult her. I was “girl! This man is trying to love you.” But of course when things unfolded i understood. 
-Their love and journey is very beautiful, funny and loving.
