It was a slow read but worth the wait. All good things come to those who wait!! Ophelie has lost her husband and son.

She gets shot, almost dies, finds out her best friend was sleeping with her husband and that her child is really her her husbands love child. Her best friend dies of cancer and she ends up with the child.

"Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever."

Wow! I honestly wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I did. I honestly thought it was just going to be one of those authors that people hyped up too much but now I see why. This made me feel all the feels. I laughed. I cried tears of sorrow and tears of joy. This was an emotional rollercoaster and I can't wait to pick up the next book.
About a year ago, Pip and her mom Ophelie, lost half of their family in a plane accident; brother and father. Then one day, Pip comes across this guy named Matt on the beach. He's a painter and he ends up teaching her how to draw. At first, Ophelie was skeptical about him and feared that he was going to hurt Pip. After sometime goes by she realizes that Matt is a good man and they start to feel things through each other.
Matt's wife Sally had left him 10 years ago to be with his best friend and took his children away from him. Robert and Vanessa believed that Matt had abandoned them even though he had been riding them and tried to visit them but their mom was actually keeping her kids out of Matt's life due to the fact that she was married to his best friend. Sally was just a very manipulative person and the kind that wanted things to go her way. So not long after Matt meets Pip and her mom, Robert comes to see him. I don't want to go into too much details because I don't want to give the plot away. It really was a fantastic read though and I definitely recommend it. There is lots of loss and heartache and learning to trust again. Matt and Ophelie both experienced a lot and were afraid of being hurt again. Fantastic read.
