Hannah has done it again 👏🏻. I just adored Tyler and Gracie's relationship and growth so much! I binged this book in a few hours as I couldn't get enough. We see Tyler try and forget about Gracie because he doesn't want to hurt Oakley... to Gracie being brave and confident and not letting Tyler go, even when he consistently pushes her away... to Tyler and Gracie entering into a relationship and navigating this new dynamic together.

Tyler has dealt with a lot and I just wanted to give him a big old hug 🥺. I loved Gracie's conviction and stubbornness and how she stuck with him throughout it all. And that little plot twist at the end was unexpected!

"She's my light—my guide as I walk through the darkest parts of myself, always leading me back home. Back to her. Where I should have been a long time ago."

I also love how Hannah focuses on characters that turn to communication over conflict and these two are no exception. There are a lot of hurdles to their happily ever after, but they leap over them together. 

Some of my favourite moments?
- When Tyler says he's addicted to Gray.
- His "I love you" confession (times two).
- "I can't promise I'll be a good boyfriend." "Then we'll work on it together."
- When he looks for her at the hockey game 🥹.
