Those Two Words by Ronnie Mathews

5.0

Such a beautiful debut from this author. It felt like a soothing hug after a tough day; it felt like a homecoming full of bittersweet moments and tenderness - which is exactly what it was. This is a beautiful story of grief, loss, love, anxiety, and life with all of the moments in between. The characters are well written and beautiful, full of triumphs, failures, and bittersweet memories.

The flashbacks to the past are well written and add a layer of context that truly completes the story. The mental health representation is well-written and beautifully portrayed.

Sometimes, you truly can return home.

Oh - and the spice is a beautiful thing! The truck scene was EVERYTHING I didn't even know I needed!

This is truly a book that I wish I could read for the first time again.
