5.0

I ugly cried for the last quarter of the book. Good did I love it. A beautiful meaningful impactful romance. I adored the found parenthood aspect watching two people unexpectedly fall in love with their daughter, and each other. As much as I loved the whole book, the beginning with them being friends felt the most special and real.
