It isn't Ella or Beckett or even Maisie that makes me cry. Colt absolutely breaks me. The way he treated, talked to, talked about his sister was truly magnificent. 


It bothers me that this book is everywhere rigtht now and everyone is recommending it, saying it's amazing and it will break it you, but not once has anyone said it contains graphic sex scenes.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book.

I have read several other books of hers and I think this is the best one.

"Ha. Because from the moment I saw your face and heard you speak, you were the only one I wanted." -Beckett

This book depicts grief in such a way that will leave you with tears rolling down your face but continuing to read the pages and having the need to read more. There is love and loss and hope and despair in almost every chapter. 

Ella and Beckett were the perfect pair and Ryan just knew they were what each other needed. I couldn't get enough of their love for each other and their need to keep each other. Love this little family and I am thankful that Colt and Maisie finally got to have a dad.

I had high hopes for this book. It started so well, then progressively went down hill. I found the main characters to be somewhat draining and repetitive. When the book finally picks up after

Maisie's recovery

, I thought we're finally getting on track. Nope. Then

Colton dies

. Unsure why this was necessary for the storyline? Then Ella's grief reaction feels inadequate considering the extent of her loss. Do not read if you're hoping for a nice, happy ending.
