😡 I will say that at times I really did not care for Grace and Patricks decisions, becaus they where putting themselves and their feelings above what was best for Diem and everyone else. There was no good reason to completely cut Kenna out of Diem's life other than to intentionally hurt her.

But overall, it’s a good read if you want to have a good cry over a mom longing for her child.

"There was before you and there was during you. For some reason, I never thought there would be an after you."
Another impressive Colleen Hoover novel that I should be thanking her for writing. My best friend (the same person who introduced me this amazing writer on my 18th birthday 10 years ago) and I decided it was time for us to start reading this book at the same time. So we did. We just forgot to explain the details and set the rules and boundaries upon reading this book. Suffice to say, I devoured the book in 2 days and when I told her I finished it already, she had just finished a few chapters because she was so busy. It's a book to really devote a day or two maybe 2-3 hours each day because it's something I had a hard time putting down.
Saying that this book is about Kenna and Ledger is something I'd be lying about. It's more of Kenna-Diem-Scotty, Ledger-Diem and maybe a little bit of Kenna-Ledger. It's sad to say that I fell in love with Scotty too whilst reading this and later had a thing with Ledger. But it's a Scotty love story for me. The love story between Kenna and Scotty is amazing and something I was devastated for knowing it had ended. I can't even say I was rooting for Scotty because we know he's already gone with the pigeons, maybe, and that's the devastating part. You can also see how Kenna is as a mother. Someone who'd do the very best thing for her daughter, even when that would mean her going away and never seeing her. I cried and felt for Kenna and I don't even have a child (aside from my dogs). For a minute or two, I even thought it would be a sad ending where something bad would happen to Kenna... I'm so happy it wasn't. I would be so devastated.
The reason why it's only a bit of Ledger-Kenna was because it was a hate to love situation. Their relationship only progressed more during the third of the book and I'm not even mad about it. Because we need to see how much Kenna love Scotty and why she's the way she is as a mother. The love story between Ledger and Kenna is an added bonus, in my opinion. It made me see that even after experiencing that kind of love and being heart-broken from it, one can still move on. You can also see them fighting their will to be with the other because there are in such situation. I would love to reread this someday for sure. Maybe once I had a child, I'd better understand Kenna.
(me when I read this line: "OHHHH. So that's where that Colleen Hoover line was from!!!")
