This novel was more than I expected it to be, particularly after Gideon's abhorrent behaviour in Milo. To my surprise, I actually liked Gideon and his character's gradual change as he became a better person. I really adored Eli's character; he was fresh and relatable.
Overall in the trilogy, the first (Oz) was my favourite, and this is a solid second.

I don’t think this book could be read as a standalone…I think too much would be missed from the last two books. Silas, Oz, Milo and Niall and their mixed histories together are needed for the full impact of the story. Those four characters are in this book quite a bit, which I really liked!
I didn’t care for Gideon much in book two or the pseudo triangle he, Niall and Milo were ensconced. By the end of Milo’s book, I liked him more but I didn’t love him and I didn’t fully appreciate how poorly his parents treated him.
I liked him much better in this book and I loved Eli. Entertaining Eli beautifully balanced Grumpy Gideon. Eli was able to see past the façade Gideon shows the world to the hurt little boy that just wants to be loved and made a priority.
There isn’t too much to the story; the focus is mostly on Gideon and getting him healthy and happy. There is a quick mention of Eli’s family a couple of times and his monetary situation but there isn’t much about him beyond that. The outcome is predictable, but the book is still enjoyable and as amusing as I’ve come to expect from Ms. Morton.
Another must read as far as I’m concerned. And I’m wondering if we’ll see Eli’s flatmates in the future…

I feel like the Finding Home series might just not be for me. This was a miss for me.
I will say that considering how much I disliked Gideon in Milo, he really redeemed himself here. I thought Eli was great for him, and the parts on the cruise I liked.
However, a lot of the action happens off-page, like the two of them having long chats to get to know each other as well as Gideon's interview. For that reason, I had a hard time connecting with the characters.

5⭐️ I hated Gideon in the last book (Milo). He was arrogant, cruel, and manipulative. I almost didn’t want to read this book because of it… but I’m so freaking glad I did. Gideon’s growth and character arc from villain to hero was brilliant and I absolutely adore him now. Lily Morton used her magic and totally flipped me.
In this story, Eli is a private nurse assigned to Gideon to help care for him after a bad bought of pneumonia. As feelings develop between them, the couple struggles with Gideon’s “closet” status.
The book is split into two parts and second half especially was so freaking sweet and satisfying. Eli was such a great character and a perfect fit for Gideon in every way. Some of the hottest love scenes I’ve ever read too.
I’m so sad to say goodbye to the amazing characters in this series.
