The previous novel ended with a detailed epilogue, so this book wasn’t really necessary but did help fill in some gaps. Odette’s extended family and the loose ends she left in Seattle weren’t addressed at the end of the second book, so my nosiness compelled me to read this. It really reminded me a lot of why I enjoyed the first book: the chemistry between her & Gale was superb, Wilhelmina proved why she’s an elite mom, and Augusta & Yvonne got the short end of the stick like they deserved. There were minor editing errors.

Odette and Gale, Gale and Odette. They will forever hold a place in my heart. i loved this series so much and I cannot wait to get to McAvoy’s other books🥰
What I really liked in this book was seeing the first year of Odette and Gale’s marriage, the ups & downs they faces and how they overcame/managed them together. Usually I am content with just the epilogue and being in blind bliss that my couples stay happy forever without any problems so this was a welcome change, I cried and laughed and screamed and enjoyed every bit of it. I also appreciate that it’s multiple pov’s and they felt well weaved into the story and not a distracting addition.
my only thing was it felt like there was too many scandals coming at them that I couldn’t fully enjoy their blissful moments but I wasn’t necessarily mad at that.
