Oliver Smith is deeply lost in grief after the tragic death of his singing partner and twin brother. One drunken night in a bar, he bumps into Emery, a bartender who has struggles of her own. Despite the immeasurable joy of being a single mom to an adorable little girl, luck doesn't seem to be on her side when it comes to making ends meet. It doesn't help that she has a family who utterly fails at being her support system. When she sees Oliver and offers to save him from a crowd, she has no idea he’s about to do the same for her.

This book tapped into every single emotion in existence and drowned me in each of them. It made me happy, sad, angry, hopeful, hopeless, and literally any other word that can be felt. 

Oliver as a hero was swoon worthy yet that wasn’t all that he was. I really felt his character’s struggle to find himself after the loss of his twin. I loved seeing him rise up and regain hope as he fell in love with Emery. He also gained bonus points in my heart after seeing his adorable dynamic with Emery’s daughter Reese! Emery, on the other hand, was such a powerhouse. The way she stood up for herself and her daughter was incredible. I loved watching her unmatched strength shine yet she had this tender side when it comes to Reese and Oliver.

The romance showcased in this book dug deep into my soul. It’s anchored in healing and realizing that life is a collection of ups and downs and experiencing the downs doesn’t necessarily negate the ups. It isn’t only a love story between two people; it’s also about family and finding people around you who are willing to lift you up after you fall and make you fall in love with life once again 

The only reason why I didn’t give this a full five stars is because I felt that the plotline with antagonists came with loose ends. I wasn’t all too satisfied with how their relationship with the hero and heroine wrapped up; I honestly think the catharsis could have been a lot stronger in that respect.

All in all, this was another strong one from Brittainy Cherry! If you’re looking for a solid love story between a musician and a single mom laced with family drama, go check this book out!

I think the only thing that I really thoroughly enjoyed about this book was Oliver’s point of view most of the time. Other then that, this book didn’t do it for me. This is a Friends to lovers romance book that for 40% of the book there is no romance, just the friends. Which is fine, if this book is longer, but then the romance wasn’t enough for me. I felt very disconnected to the writing style and the steam felt so dispassionate.
