What a great finisher to the spoiler alert series! Peter and Maria were both such lovable characters, one thing I think Olivia does so well is making her male mcs so relatable and easy to empathize with. I love her use of third person but still having dual pov. Additionally, I loved the themes of family, especially chosen family, woven into this book. Olivia does a fantastic job of weaving in very real and relatable traumatic storylines for her characters to give them depth without it being too much. Overall took off one star because I wish there had been a more clear indication of the 6 year time jump, I felt like the plot slowed a lot in the middle, and I felt like Peter deserved more of an apology and explanation from Maria for her unrealistic expectations of “all or nothing” when they were making up. Thank you so much to NetGalley, Avon, and Harper Voyager for this e-arc in exchange for an honest review!
