WOW. JUST WOW.
I just finished reading, my feelings are still very fresh so bare with me.
I had a feeling this book would be special but I wasn’t ready for it to steal my heart. Grace & Cal mean so much to me. I genuinely love them with everything in me. I’ll forever be grateful to Lisina for writing such an beautiful story.
While Grace is such a delicate character at the beginning of this book, she’s also incredibly strong willed. We start off with her being afraid to break out of her shell but being determined to do so anyways.
Cal is literally such a sweetheart. While protective, he’s incredibly patient & gentle. I think he’s the most dependable character I’ve ever read about. His selflessness is beyond compare! We really get to see it especially in his relationship with his little sister, Maddie.
Maddie is one of my favorite aspects in this book. Not only is she adorable but the girl brings Cal & Grace together in ways she doesn’t even realize. She brought a much needed lightheartedness to the story. I loved every awkward question she made Cal answer concerning his relationship with Grace. Grace & Maddie’s relationship is so cute! Grace was always looking out for Maddie’s best interest. 100% willing to be there for her when she needed it. Genuinely any scene with Maddie warmed my heart.
It’s always so refreshing to read romances about health relationships. Ones that are built on communication. Cal always made it a point to make sure he & Grace we’re on the same page. If they weren’t, he encouraged a conversation about whatever they were dealing with. Because of this, Grace learned to do the same when Cal wanted to revert back to handling things on his own. Watching both of them grow & learn to depend one another was truly rewarding.
