Anytime I read a book in a day it’s a 5 star for me. There are very justified criticisms of CoHo and this book but for me, I loved every second. I got the happy ending I needed and a storyline that kept me enthralled. I do appreciate the realism and the interwoven side story of a chosen family. Highly recommend It ends with us and this sequel. ❤️

1.0

I was not happy with how it ended but it’s okay. I wanted more history on Atlas’ mom and why she abandoned herself and her kids. I wanted to know if after two years did Ryle get the help he needed. Did he attend the wedding? At the age of 3 is Emerson the flower girl in the wedding? I hated the last line of the book. I Ike the introduction to Theos love interest and how it progressed. Josh was honestly a huge Plot twist in my book. all in all the book wasn’t terrible just rushed and not my favorite
