This book absolutely destroyed me emotionally. It's not the first of Rebecca Yarros' books to do so. It was a beautifully written story about love, life, and death. 5 stars, just 5 stars. That's all I can say. 😭

Ok, this one is a difficult one to rate. This book is an emotional rollercoaster. Basically the story starts when, upon the death of his best friend, a special ops soldier and his dog go to take care of his best friend’s sister and her six year old twins, one of which has cancer. Then the story unfolds into a slow burn, I’ve always loved you and will always love story. The interactions between the MMC and the kids was very cute and heartwarming and his patience to win over the FMC was sweet. There was the usual “I’m not good enough because I’ve done things” and secret keeping “to spare the other person” which I’m never a fan of. There was a lot about the childhood cancer (so big TW there). My biggest issues with this book come in the last 10% - I was bawling like a baby. I even spoiled the ending and I was still crying and I never cry while reading. The last 10% of the book took my heart out and crushed it. It was hard. Especially because I am a parent of children similar in age to the children in the book. So, if you want to cry and have your heart stepped on while also reading a beautiful and gut wrenching love story - you may “enjoy” this one. But I will never be reading this book again, my heart cannot take it.

Great read, very emotional and sometimes too sad. Enjoyed the characters and their stories.

Selve historien var god overordnet set, men dialogen var for forfærdelig til at jeg kan give den mere end to stjerner. 6-8 årlige taler simpelthen ikke på den filosofiske måde som her - heller ikke når de er døende. Jeg tvivler og så på at en mand med Becketts fortid og angiveligt hårde personlighed kan være sådan en flødebolle hele vejen igennem.
