Isn't bad, it has better leads, but it feels weird whenever they mention past events in the second book.

I don't know why Alexis seems like a different person in this book and also she says at some point that what she goes through in this book is the most awful thing she has gone through...she is a s.a. survivor and lost her mother to cancer...at the same time. It feels very out-of-touch

A little heavy-handed on the forgiveness propaganda, but otherwise another solid entry from Adams. I love how she sets up her next book(s) so that we have at least a little foundational knowledge of and relationship with the characters and they don't feel like complete strangers to us and each other, thus undermining the believability of their own love stories.

I enjoyed this book, not as much as the previous one though. I enjoyed the romance and the family dynamics but I feel like there was a lot of emotional processing that attempted to fit within 350 pages.

I loved the themes of this book and how it dealt with grief. One of the things I hate with romance novels is sometimes things can seem far fetched and that wasn’t the case this time. I also love that, even though we didn’t spend too much time with Noah and Alexis in previous books, their chemistry wasn’t lacking because of that.
