This book was beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. Sometimes love can come out of a dark place like grief. But not a trauma bond type of love. A true, genuine, from the deepest depths of your soul, one of a kind love. And that's what I felt even as a reader. The love poured off of the pages. I loved Benz and Daun and how they loved and cared for Busy and Tyler. A true unconditional, parental love even though they weren't biologically their children. I even loved the dogs ๐Ÿ˜‚ I loved their story and how they came to be. Shout out to the universe and Arli and Travis ๐Ÿ˜‰. I loved the community, family, love and care of Pepper. Makes me want to get a "P" tattoo and I ain't even from Pepper. Now to my real favorite.... Oak! My Oaky Pokey....he is amazing! Every time he graced a page my heart smiled. I loved how he loved and how his family loved him. He was a beautiful, well written character and I love to see it. I don't want to give too much away bc I want everybody to read this book bc it was just beautiful. A beautiful love that grew from grief. And I loved the incorporation of lemons honestly. Lemons symbolize love, light, they cleanse, detoxify and have healing properties. All traits that Benz and even Oak carried. Maybe thatโ€™s why they were drawn to each other and had the beautiful friendship that they did. And also probably why Daun was so drawn into her as well. He saw this qualities and his mind & body knew he needed to cleanse, detox and heal.
