It saddens me that the “If Love” series is now over, but “If we were perfect” was an impeccable conclusion to the tumultuous, emotional, and heart-warming journey, finally exploring the rise and fall of Olivia and Sammy.
Olivia and Sammy had an excruciating breakup 9-years prior to the start of IWWP, an event that both left them damaged and scarred. Any reservations Olivia had however got thrown to the wind when the unexpected happened: having her apartment flooded and nearly all her possessions ruined.
Olivia has no choice but to call Sammy and as hurt as he also is, he of course comes to the rescue and offers his house as a place to stay.
Being in close proximity forces the resurgence of old feelings and a buried past; one they’re both forced to confront in order to move on. And as they both realize that because feelings are long forgotten doesn’t mean they’re dead, Olivia and Sammy have to make hard decisions to realize what they want in life. And in each other.
