This was such a great book with some wonderful twists that left me heartbroken at times and happy at other times. Then to be honest I was swearing quite a bit at the main character Caroline as she was frustrating me so much!
Caroline’s life flipped upside down with the death of Mark and she did the right thing by contacting Easton but she really wanted to be in control of everything that happened. As a mom I could understand that but at the same time she invited Easton into their lives but really still wanted to keep at a distance as she was almost jealous of the relationship he could potentially have with his own kids. That part started making me angry a little as he had already missed so much time with them and he was missing more and more with the way Caroline was behaving.
I thought Easton was actually an amazing guy as he did what he needed to do in order to get the kids to Seattle and then he respected Caroline’s wishes, even though it began to get a little ridiculous. I thought his Christmas gifts were great even though Caroline was so mad but I do think he maybe should have checked before hand, especially with Mona. But that being said, he was really trying hard and Caroline was giving him nothing to go on.
I loved how much Easton grew up in this book and knew what his priorities were although he was confused over what he could do as per Caroline’s wishes. I knew why he felt like he needed to say something before the kids found out accidently. I also really liked that Easton sought advice from some of the older players and fathers on the team which made them bond more.
I loved Junie, Caroline’s best friend, and how she also made Caroline think about things differently and really made an impact on Caroline at the right times.
My heart broke towards the end with some of the reactions but I was glad that the kids were able to come around!
The end was perfect and I can’t wait for more!
