Ugh Brittainy Cherry did it again. I’ve always loved her books but this one was so good. It hit a lot of important and relatable topics, like losing loved ones, depression, resilience, and love. I like that it was a second chance romance but still discussed the love of family. I also loved how it discussed aspects of mental health and the importance of leaving on those who love us but also getting the help we need. I’d highly recommend.

Good wrap up to the series. It was a bit confusing at times and I feel like I still have QTNA about the characters backgrounds.

This book gutted me. I’m so glad my first read was the fifth anniversary edition. I can’t imagine reading the original and having it end the way it did. I loved this from start to finish. And I’m sad it’s over

I liked this one a lot more than the first one. It felt more complete to me. I really liked the MCs and the evolution of their relationship. I love a bad ass FMC which is exactly what Brenna was. Excited for the next one.

This one was a bit confusing since there’s multiple plot points woven together but I think it sets it up well for the final book. Hopefully I get all the answers I want! Would definitely recommend this series
