I actually enjoyed the book, showing the ups and downs of a relationship and infertility in a women which is a big problem for many. The fact that the characters changed and went through many emotions, how Graham would send so many mixed feelings that I finally decided that he was a decent person who wanted the best for Quinn. Amazing writing and plot overall was a pretty great book.

3.5 stars. This was an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. Every chapter I went from happy to sad over and over again. Quinn and Grahams relationship was so beautiful but heartbreaking at the same time. The "then" chapters were amazing. I loved seeing the buildup of their relationship and the amazing connection that they have. The "now" chapters were very sad for obvious reasons. The struggle with infertility. I just wish Quinn and Graham talked to each other. There was so much miscommunication that could have been avoided. I hated the cheating aspect and even though there were no actual sex involved in said cheating, I don't know how I feel about Graham. I don't know if he deserves redemption or not in all honesty. It's pretty grey for me because Quinn had her own faults as well, not that that justifies cheating or anything but still. It wasn't all his fault to me. Chapter 28 was so emotional. The letters were so beautiful but sad just like the book. I loved that the epilogue didn't end with them magically having a baby so it was somewhat realistic. This was pretty good all in all.

Definitely an emotional book, but pretty good overall. I liked how it was realistic and showed their flaws and troubles, but it still worked out and had a happy ending even if it wasn’t the one the characters first wanted. 
I’m very glad that the author didn’t decide to throw in a pregnancy or even adoption. A lot of authors do that when talking about infertility which is kind of insulting and ignoring the realities of infertility. Sure it’s happier for the characters, but unrealistic and could be upsetting for readers.


That being said, it felt like a very short book that honestly wasn’t super intriguing. A lot of things were glossed over that could have added more depth to the book. I also didn’t like
the premise of Graham’s affair or how it was handled. The reasoning was strange and Quinn really got over it oddly fast.


My favorite part was the letters. Without it, I probably would have given this book 3-3.25 stars.
