Loved it. 

Kenna was a character I didn’t understand at first but then it all made sense. 

Ledger was a book boyfriend I didn’t realise I needed. He is different to the other book boyfriends - he’s thoughtful, kind, but also has his darkness. 

Scotty - no words. 

What I liked:
- characters of Kenna and Ledger in particular 
- the letters throughout the book
- the ending and introduction of Diem
- the jungle gym
- Lady Diana
- Ivy the cat
- lack of miscommunication trope which so could have been in there easily

What I disliked:
- not a whole lot!
- not a lot of Roman, I liked his character and wish we’d seen more
- calling the baby Scotty… felt this was a bit cliche but I understood why it was done

This book was average in its writing style. The plot was predictable, the romance rushed, and the HEA a little too neat. But by golly did the author ever know how to capture and convey the emotions of the characters. I think I spent half the book crying with empathy for the young mother who has never met her own child. So, while I don’t normally read this flavor of book and I did not enjoy it to the point of wanting to recommend it to all my friends, the power of the emotions was the driving factor of the story for me.
