This book extols the simple pleasures of a gentle love. The kind of love that makes you want to put down roots. The kind of love that makes you change your mind. The kind of love that makes you want to push a stroller around the biggest mall in America. The kind of love where you take care of sick partners and sick kids. The kind of love where you bring your partner lunch. The kind of love where you make a date of picking up your drunk mom and her best friend. It’s a domestic kind of love and a realistically boring kind of love. This tracks entirely with Justin and Emma and their complex family situations, but it IS kind of boring. I read this book so fast (within 24 hours) but ended the book feeling like we skipped straight over romance to get to family.
Loved Maddie and honestly loved that we got to see Neil’s journey continue. It think it’s valid to acknowledge that therapy can help, but not necessarily fix a person.

This story is crafted like a roller coaster of emotions and I white knuckled my way all the way to the HEA. Abby brought to life an entire cast of characters and dove deep into the FMC and MMC. She didn’t shy away from the gritty details of the work that goes into making us who we are and how to make ourselves better versions. I would advise reading content warnings before reading the story. That being said, I would still recommend the story and I promise no matter how dark it gets, there is a HEA.
