This series ended so wonderfully!! I knew I was going to love this book because I had a soft spot for Andrew, but I was pleasantly surprised when that soft spot turned more for Miles. Miles was EVERYTHING!! 

I'm not the biggest fan of second chance, so for me to give one 5 stars just take my word for it, it was that dang good. As always, we can always count on Nicole Dykes for bring us an emotional read and she does so well with it. She touches tough subjects with care and making it a smooth read. I can imagine this isn't an easy task to accomplish so kudos to her. 

If you're looking for the above tropes and aspects in a book go snag this one. You don't have to read the entire series as each book follows a different couple, but I can't recommend the series enough. Also available with KU which is always a plus! 

Happy Reading! ❤️
