This is an emotional story about overcoming generational trauma, grief, loss and sexual assault. It is also about finding light in the darkness that life can throw at us and finding love through everything mentioned. 
But overall, there is something I did not entirely like/enjoy about this one that I can not put my finger on. I felt like in certain areas it dragged along and there are certain parts that could have used more explanation that were left to our own interpretation I guess. The way music was mixed into this was a sweet touch and I can see that being a reason music lovers pick this one up.

OMG this is one of the best romance books I have read. The characters were so likeable and so relatable as they went though hard hitting moments which made me feel so many emotions for them there was only one character I didn’t like as she really irritated me. The story is so well told and told In such a way you believe ever single word. The author really took her time to make this book such a loveable book. There were some tears whilst reading this book and the start of the book hit me in my emotions as I didn’t expect it to start like that but it shaped how the story was going and the ending made me so happy. The plot of the book is well told and written. This author did a fantastic job with this book xxx

I LOVED this book so much! Oliver and Emery had me feeling all of my feelings just ALL over the place. 

Woof. There is a lot to unpack in this story. Grief and loss, generational and family trauma, sexual assault, child abuse, mental health issues, etc. Oliver and Emery are separately struggling with the circumstances in their lives, and as fate (and romance) has it, their paths converge in this beautiful story about learning to listen to and support one another through different struggles. Emery has so much grace and patience, and Oliver needs someone to help him find the light inside himself. Emery needs to feel like she has someone on her side, and Oliver discovers he wants to be that someone. In the process, these two become friends (and more). The way they grow to love and support one another made my heart swell. 

There were several times I cried during this book. For as many times as we are given examples of beautiful lasting love, we are shown hate and hurt, and man...I just needed this to all work out. As someone who has a never-ending list of favorite songs, I appreciated the way music played into the storyline. This is a book I will happily recommend! 

Happy Reading!

Brittany, you brilliant woman. I loved this. I started reading your story for the music, but I stayed for the love. Even though my blood boiled with Emery's "parents" when they "said" something, I wanted to let you know that I knew people like them, and I hated them. Kelly, I hope you heal. Abigail, thank you for being a kind human being. Sammie, to be honest, I wouldn't say I liked your decision to abandon Reese, but I understood your POV. Oliver, I'm happy about your progress and glad you didn't give up on yourself. Reese, you sweet kid, you're so bright (you reminded me of my little one). Emery, I was not the favorite child of three; I feel you. (Though I'm not adopted or anything like that) I felt your pain. It must be awesome to be the favorite child for once, but I accepted this through the years. You inspired me, Emery. To all the strong people out there, I salute you all. You deserve extraordinary lives.✨💕
