While this was a hard book at times, I absolutely fell in love with the characters! So much so, that I truly felt the love throughout the book despite so much heartache & grief. This book left me feeling empty, broken, lost, extremely emotional, yet full of hope as the FMC truly shows what strength is like on so many levels. Salem, Forrest, Thayer, Georgia, Lauren, Caleb & Salem’s mother all hold a special place in my heart! Especially Forrest 🫶🏼

It has some spice but nothing overdone and is worked well into the story as it’s needed.
