Let me say that I have felt many things reading many books but this book by this extraordinary author was by far one of, if not my favorite read.
⚠️Please please check the triggers before reading⚠️
I was so wholly moved by this story I felt everything so deeply it was hard to remove myself from the book.
The pain and anguish the characters presented with was mine I couldn’t hold back tears just reading through their struggles and hardships. The growth and beaming light our FMC had was remarkable and I was proud as if I were her sister watching her find herself again.
I wished I could hug them and love them and tell them everything would be ok and that they would get through this.
Don’t sleep on this story! If you can read it please do and bring tissues.

You may shed a few tears in this one. *Don't ignore the author's warnings*
My favorite part of the whole book is the ending. I felt so much pride for Noli and all she'd endured to find her HEA. Strong and beautiful, scars and all. Raw and amazing. That's pretty much all that needs to be said.

Such a beautiful yet heartbreaking story

This book consumed my entire day I couldn't put it down! I have been in such a book slump the last few weeks and this story had me sucked in! Definitely check triggers because even though I really don't have any I found myself skimming some of the DV because it was so gut-wrenching. I absolutely love this author her shedding light on real issues women face was amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. When Noli went to that "woman's clinic" I felt that pain and anger with her. There are a few minor things I wish I got in this story was more relationship building when Noli came back. I know they were soulmates and supposed to be together but she just got out of a 15year VERY Toxic marriage and with in a day of coming back she is already sleeping with Dare and Ryan? I just would've loved to just see more of them taking care of her and helping her come back to life before things progressed. HOWEVER I did look at as these men were her safe place. The last chapter in this book made me choke up a little bit we definitely need more laws protecting woman from DV! Thank you Rebecca for this amazing story❤
