Kennedy Ryan has written this book so beautifully. There was no toxic behavior, no miscommunication just love in it's different forms.

The weight of their grief is so heavy at times, I wasn’t sure I could continue reading. Now, if you are a well-adjusted person who has their head on straight, this probably won’t affect you. But I am going through some things, and so I found it a little harder to bear. I cried a lot while reading this. But I also laughed. And I swooned. And I squirmed in my seat. It unexpectedly had one of my favorite tropes, done with a twist. 💕🥵
Both MCs are smart and likable. They demonstrate strength in different ways. The family dynamics feel familiar yet unique to them. The secondary characters of Soledad and Hendrix are the most well developed - I suspect they will be the subject of subsequent books.
The spice in this one - it is a slow burn. But you burn right alongside them. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
The MCs are affluent Black business owners, and the community that surrounds them in the Atlanta suburbs is quite diverse - lots of BIPOC characters, and a queer couple next door. I feel like Hendrix could be bi, but that may just be my wishful thinking. 😂 But even without that, there is a fair amount of racial diversity and some queer representation.
About 2/3 of the way into this book, I wasn’t sure I could give it a star rating. It’s so different from what I normally read. And it had my emotions in a chokehold, which made it hard to think about in terms of stars. But with the last third, the character transformations, and just all the feelings the story evoked, I decided it’s a five star read. Just keep your box of tissues nearby!
