I love Lily and Lo even more after this book. It broke my heart that Lo slipped in his sobriety after so long and that it’s so much easier to do it over and over again.
Lily and Lo have thrown out the list of “suggestions” from her therapist. It’s hard to tell if she’s also slipping in her recovery, or if she’s able to actually manage without the added structure.
Lo is terrified of being a father, but it could turn out to be the greatest thing he’s ever done. I hope that this is the thing that turns their lives away from their addictions and toward a healthy future.
I also really enjoy seeing Rose and Connor’s relationship from Lily and Lo’s POV. You can really feel the admiration and respect they have for their love. I almost feel like we get a truer view of the relationships from an outside perspective.
