 “I’ve got you, Mallory. Nothing bad is going to happen. You can let yourself want this, because you already have it. You have me.”
 

 I *ADORE* this book! Ali Hazelwood has surely become one of my auto-read authors, her banter and character-building never stops pulling me in and making me feel every ounce of emotion described in it. It truly amazes me deeply this book touched me. I think the author did an amazing job of showing how important it is to feel seen and understood in a relationship. It felt so tender to see Mallory opening up to Nolan and him so undeniably proving that he always has and always will be all in there for her. Ugh to be loved like Nolan loves Mallory.
