A review by bookishlychar
Cross My Heart by Avery Maxwell

5.0

I thought this was a good book. We had two characters Dex and Lanie that had both gone through a lot in their lives. This is a true story of two people who had been through the wringer and figuring out how to heal from that.

Dex was a pretty amazing guy, who set out to prove that he was a person and family who could support Lanie. I also thought that Lanie was a super sassy lady, who put the three kids she was nannying for ahead of everything.

I thought that Tate (the little boy) was a great addition to the book. He added to the relationship that developed both with Lanie and Dex. I thought the entire cast of characters were great additions to the book and I loved how we added both people's friends, with their stories continuing in future books. I also loved the discussion of found family, and choosing your family.

This story made me tear up many times. Watching these two people fall for each other, and help them heal was amazing. I thought this was a great book, with great writing. I will be checking out more of Avery Maxwell's books in the future!
