I enjoyed watching Aly grow stronger, learn to value herself, figure out what she wanted and what she was holding onto out of fear, and allow herself to be taken care of. Aly is in the darkest days of grief when this starts, and by the end it's clear that she is going to be okay. I found this book to be honest and hopeful, and I like books like that.

Like left his home to Aly, but she quickly finds out that he also left the house to his best friend, Wyatt. Aly is determined to sell the house and get back to her life in New York, but she slowly finds that she may not want to return at all.
This story does a great job navigating through Aly’s grief, as well as Wyatt’s. They go through this journey together, understanding that Luke brought them together for a reason.
