I love Laurie's development. She matures in a fantastic way, as does Jamie.
I wouldn't call it a romance as much as just general fiction.
The author writes *very* triggering material. A good writer, but trauma is never forewarned and always hits hard.
This is the most light hearted one, and my favourite despite that.

This is the least triggering Mhairi McFarlane book I've read.
None of her books have warnings of sensitive subjects that readers may find harmful, but every other one needs it.
This one is no exception.
