This story is so beautiful. I definitely shed tears. And enjoyed watching them grow in love and grow as individuals. I freaking love Kyrell’s personality. He was hilarious. And Quinn truly is an angel.

This was an extremely heavy book. It had its sexy moments, its playful moments, its sad moments, and its beautiful moments. This book is very trigger heavy so I would recommend going in this book prepared for very sensitive topics to be touched on. 

We met Kryell and Quinn in All I’ve Ever Wanted, All I’ve Ever Needed as close friends to Harlow. Kyrell is a successful business owner who owns a dispensary and Quinn is a 

Kyrell came off as a huge asshole playboy in the beginning and I was not a fan. The more layers that were pulled away about him you start to understand why he is the way that he is. Kyrell and Quinn both have suffered from trauma due to their parents and their childhood. The pair have great chemistry and decided to start an FWB arrangement. They are exactly what the other needs…Quinn needs someone to help her loosen up and Kyrell needs someone to keep him grounded. 

I laughed just as much as I cried in this book. The story between Kyrell and his dad was just a beautiful but sad journey. I loved the first book more but this was still a great read.

I really love the banter and way that A E Valdez writes her characters, plot, stories and how they build on one another within this friend group. Her characters have such a vibe. I’m excited to read the next book.
