This Will Hurt II by Cara Dee

5.0

Thank you, Cara Dee, for putting back together what you broke in book one... Namely, my heart. This book hurt also, but it also healed. Watching Jake and Roe create this extended family and thrive as fathers was so touching. The relationship between Sandra and Roe was painful and heartbreaking. I didn't hate her because none of it was her fault. It wasn't anyone's fault. But I did want to shake her at times.
The stuff with Jake's family was infuriating and difficult to read, but I love how we get to see Roe and company rally to protect Jake and stand up for him.
Jake and Roe's relationship is complicated and difficult, but it's also beautiful and pure. It's impossible to not root for them and love love (#JAYROE)! This book brought some laughs, plenty of angst, and so much heart that it hurts ( pun unintended!).
