Another amazing read! I loved that Calder was the one that got Hadley into her mountain biking and it became something she loved dearly. The emotional trauma these two endured was hard to read because it almost felt like these characters were friends of yours. Also the big family showdown at dinner between mama Jules and Hadley was my favorite scene because it finally gave us protector Calder and the rest of the family. I didn’t like that all was forgive with Julia right away. Family is sometimes hard to love and I feel like there should’ve been more time to let Julia know her mistakes and make it up to Hadley.
