5.0

The heartwarming romance between both Anna and Quan gave me joy. They both are so respectful and patient with each other (Quan in particular), that their love story doesn't feel forced at all but rather something that was always meant to be. I also loved how the author writes the pain caregivers go through, and the burden and guilt they hold. I do love that Anna, despite going through some tough hurdles, manages to push through even when she's scared. Truly, a story that everybody who's up for some heavy hitting romance should read.

escapismforlife's review against another edition

This book was deep.  Even the romantic relationship had more depth added on top of it being a modern day love story. I mean of course with everything  
 Anna is dealing with in her present. And what Quan's gone through and is now getting used to while being a comfort  person  for Anna suddenly.  

 The issues dealt with are done in the most beautiful  way. But there could've been further  explanation  at points throughout this contemporary  story. Having just read this one there was little I knew though. But it seemed very concentrated on both characters  being comfortable and supportive  for each other .  And in the end I think that was the best end for this standalone series  book.

Emotional damage! 

That’s the best way I can describe this book.

Please please please read the TW before you pick this one up. It really caught me off guard.
