This is an amazing read and loved the way the story is written. As it flows beautifully. This is amazing series and is very heart breaking and emotionally hard work to process this story. This story will grab you in and will have you in a chock hold.

I love the story,the fact that Tristan and Kurt both have their own personal battles,that’s weighing them down but they decided to open up to each other,which reduced the weight they’ve been carrying inside tremendously.Both characters showed growth and strength.

We met Tristan in the first book in the series. He was seen as the protective big brother,the one who would put everyone first but had some struggles of his own. This book really highlighted those qualities and then some. 

Kurt is down on his luck after his divorce. He finds himself vying for the same position as Tristan. As the two work together, things begin to shift between them. 

Watching both of these men work on themselves and heal was absolutely beautiful. They were both there for each other in moments of weaknesses and never gave up on each other.

This book hits differently from the previous collective works. Yes, we still have the mental issues aspect of the main characters and how they need help to move forward. What I wasn't prepared for was the raw vulnerability of Tristan and how he handles life and needs the sunshine of Kurt to see the world different. Kurt has been through so much yet holds a sunshine disposition that just shines on all around him. He makes you rethink how you look at things. Together, they learn to move forward and be better people for themselves and those around them. So yes, this has less angst yet isn't in a new, beautiful, and enlightening way.
We get to see Chance & Duncan and so happy to say they are thriving. Chance is keeping up with his therapy and moving forward, which is all you can ask for. I'm so happy to see Gwen showing that therapy is good and needed. Even in the darkness their is light at the end if you sometimes step outside your comfort zone. Cannot wait to see whose next.
