Guys, at this point Chloe Liese can literally do no wrong for me. I fell in love with Freya just as I have the other Bergmans. I loved that this book focused on keeping the romance after the happily ever after and putting in the work to keep your relationship strong. The anxiety representation was SO well done and I loved that it was the male main character that struggled with it because I feel like we don't see that enough in books. Gosh these books are just so good and I can't believe I waited so long to read them.

So far, I think this book is the most unique of the series. I like that it’s about finding your way back in a marriage after the honeymoon phase ends. Choosing to work at staying in love. Plus, I appreciated that they were in their mid-thirties. The one thing I didn’t like was

how the janitor was the dad because it happened so late in the storyline that there wasn’t really time to develop. Also, it just felt thrown in, overly dramatic, and unrealistic. I get that it was put in there as a shock factor and to show Freya and Aiden are still a work in progress
