First off I listened to the audiobook

I really struggled trying to my thoughts together on how I’d rate this but I think this deserves a 5 stars.

This book was so incredibly raw and somber, this is not a book where you’re showered with lots of happy feel good emotions. There is a constant undertone of grief.

Deacon was such a complex character and the amount of layers there is to him makes him so incredible. With everything surround him and his family, not only because of his brother but because of his mother and the emotional hold she has over him. I think the portrayal of the battle his father has in this situation about how he is supposed to act is so raw and difficult.

You read so many books where things are supposed to be black and white, but in reality everything is grey and it’s so hard to make the right decisions sometimes and I felt that constantly with Bill.

Whether I started listening to Chapter 28, I thought I was about to break and I think my only real complaint with this book was that Chapter 28 wasn’t longer. I was dying to know what Rhett’s letter to Julian held. Probably a good thing it wasn’t included, because I probably would’ve been sobbing for a good few hours.

Also as a side note, Wades and Kristy’s proposal was absolute comedy gold. I was laughing so much.

Was an interesting read, i initially started this book because i thought it would be really sad. It was sad but not to the point i wanted to cry. The only 2 chapters that i found myself getting emotional in was the first chapter and the Rhett's chapter at the end. Didn't really like the whole mother scenario either. Julian was adorable though.

One click now... This is an MM must read!

So many feels... This was such a tear filled, feel good read. At times it broke my heart, but then I felt like all the broke pieces were put back together. Marley knows just how to write about love that transcends and overcomes the obstacles that hold two people back.

This was perfect. Heart wrenching and hit me with all the feels but I have to say this is one of the best books I’ve read this year.
