I loved the premise of the book - only reading snapshots of the main characters’ lives; secrets and the past only unravelling when they choose to share them with the reader or each other. I loved witnessing Fallon learn to love herself, through Ben’s unwavering amazement of her. Two people learning to forgive each other and themselves, despite their pasts, and love each other, without letting their goals become excuses to keep them apart.
