This is one of the MOST beautiful and devastating stories I have ever read. 🧡

This is a story about two childhood friends who are perfect for each other and compliment each other in the best ways, but for some reason the universe keeps pushing them a part in different ways.

I cried so many times during this book, I lost track, I would have tears streaming down my face and was still just continuing on like my entire world was not rocked by this story. Brisket, dude, brisket, who cries over brisket? I do, now, so that's a thing. I got a Dr. Pepper today, started crying. omg. Jennifer, what are you doing to me? This is only the second book SO FAR (because I will be reading them ALL) I have read from this author and she is now on my auto buy list. This book, man, I have no more words, just so many feelings. I am still crying over these characters and all of the events that took place and that ending, it was everything I could have hoped for. 

If you love romances, that will break your heart, but also make you smile like crazy, and has an HEA, this is the one dude, this one right here.
