5 ⭐ hands down. This book BROKE ME. It's honestly why I don't read many romance books because my eyes hurt too much from all the weeping and sobbing I tend to do (being an empath has it's severe drawbacks, crying over everything is one of them). I feel like my review deserves more than just this.... But I honestly need some time to reflect. What I WILL say is this.... My standards in who I fall in love with are so high now, I may just accept that I'll be alone forever.... Because if I can't find a man like Graham Wells... Well then, I DONT WANT HIM. This book is the PERFECT representation of what true, unconditional love looks like and how far you can go when you never give up on the person you love... Flaws and all their perfects.

I kinda struggled to get through this one as i personally couldn’t stand the character of Quinn however i really liked graham and felt bad because i couldn’t understand why Quinn was being so avoidant of him throughout the book

Towards the end i really liked the character development of Quinn in the end that earned this book another star so overall i rate this book 3/5 stars

I'm not going to lie the first half of this book I didn't really gravitate towards. It wasn't bad or anything. It was an easy read. It's just in the first half it felt like there was more sex than substance. It wasn't until I got to the second half (page 153ish maybe). It was the chapter where

Graham cheats on Quinn is when I got invested. And for me it just got better from there.

That's when I started to see more substance in their relationship that was contained from both the "then" and "now" perspectives. Their was relationship was finally showing some depth to me and I could see why they feel in love with one another. But what really sold me was

the letters that Graham had written to Quinn. All this time I wanted to here Graham's perspective in all this and I'm so happy I got to have it.

The ending was very satisfying to me and I feel like it tied the story up nicely. Now I still really can't get passed the stuff in the first half. Graham was a little iffy for me and I felt like he was coming on too strong. And I didn't think Quinn was all there either. I didn't really feel her love for Graham. Personally I'm not one for smut/spice and that was basically what the first half of the book consists of. Even though I couldn't be passed some of the weird stuff that happened in the beginning

they had sex with an expired condom. Like come on, how horny can you be?!

I did think this book was a nice read. If this whole book was like the second half it might've been a 5 star read for me.

This book was incredibly emotional. Please read trigger warnings before reading this because it does touch on some really hard topics, but it does so REALLY well in my opinion.

Something that I loved about this book, as much as it broke my heart, is how unique it is. So often a romance novel ends at “I Do.” but that’s not reality. That should be the beginning. Seeing these characters navigate their broken marriage is heart wrenching and hopeful at the same time. You’ll find yourself crying for Quinn and for Graham on one page, and wanting to scream at them on the next. Even the most perfect matches have their category 5 moments.

I found I related to Quinn a lot. More than i’ve ever related to the struggles of a book character before, which is surprising because where Quinn so desperately wants to be a mother, that is my absolute nightmare. But the strain that Quinn’s infertility puts on herself and on her relationship is akin to the strain i’ve felt in my own marriage because of a medical condition. The feelings of not being woman enough for her husband, of constantly letting him down, of their marriage being the thing that ruined his future, and of feeling the need to pull away from him and place this distance between them because of those thoughts. I found myself staring at the pages in disbelief that someone had actually put into words the thoughts that i’ve had in some of my darkest moments. And watching Graham desperately love the ghost of her, wishing he knew how to get her back broke me into pieces.

One emotional quote that really stuck with me: “My Husband’s heart is my saving grace, but his physical touch has become my enemy.”

If you’re looking for a sappy romance, i wouldn’t recommend this to you. If you’re looking for something real and beautiful and heartbreaking, absolutely pick this up.
