“I haven't been living without him. I've been merely surviving.”
Second chance love stories are one of my favorite tropes. This story had it in aces. Not only did Macy and Elliot get that second chance, but their love story also survived so many obstacles. I found this to be a very fast read, one that was emotional and kept me craving the next page. Alternating timelines were easy to follow, and the authors really kept you wondering if these two would be able to heal their hearts in time to make it work together. I might not always get a Christina Lauren book read in a timely fashion, but I will always read them.
“His kiss is an aching prayer; devotion pours from him.”

Wow. I am honestly speechless with this one. It’s a slow burn and for most of it I just wanted to shake the mc and just say take a leap of faith. But then that twist! I didn’t see that coming at all. It feels like it all built up until the very last 1/4 of the book and then everything happened at once. I can’t believe how Elliott would sleep with Maci only to leave her in the field alone without even talking to her. She was obviously trying and he just came off as such an entitled arrogant asshole. I hated it. Then to go on about how he thought he was sleeping with her all the years earlier was total crap. It made me so mad! But I really didn’t see Maci’s dad dying that same night. That broke me. I can’t even imagine what that would be like and the guilt she must have carried with her for years. I did love the ending though and it made me happy to see it work out.
