This felt really long to me (It maybe could have even been two books?)  - more of telling instead of showing.  Like it takes me out of the character's head when the author is telling me every bit of what they're thinking and doesn't let me think for myself "wow, this must be really rewarding/tough/interesting/jarring for them." Some solid sexy scenes though, if you're in the mood.

Yes this book is a second chance romance (with some steamy scenes) but it’s also about grief and depression and forgiveness. The characters in this book don’t experience silly miscommunications or outrageous situations- they deal with real things. It’s in the dealing with those things that they find their way back to themselves.

There are some tough things in this book so check the trigger warnings before jumping in.
