Seven of Hearts by Maggie Gates

5.0

emotional hopeful medium-paced

---

Leah and Logan grew up around each other, as his sister is her best friend. When he comes back to town for a wedding, the two reconnect, which ends with 2 lines a few weeks later. However, he lives in Chicago, and she does not want to be a burden. Once he finds out, he is determined to show up for her, in a way that she deserves. He is there for her when those closest to her fail her, and the two grow closer- she is able to lean on him. I love that he started the text chain to show what was being missed, and he was her support around needles. Logan’s need for his own friend was my favorite, and it was so nice that it was an integral part of their relationship. The title of this story fit it so well, and it was referenced throughout.
