Thoughts: This was a great book full of so much healing for both Ford and Reese. It really dove into the realities of depression and what that can look like. Both Ford and Reese dealt with depression and it looked very different for each of them. Ford was harsh and mean and struggled to let new people in. Reese trusted the wrong person and became a puppet. But they found a common ground that changed the way their viewed each other. 

When Reese found her way to Resurrection she was lost and beaten down. But she landed right where she belonged. She won over Ford and then his brothers. She found a close group of women who became some of her first real friends in Ruby, Dakota, and Fallon. I loved her growth over the course of the book.

I really liked that the relationship between the Montgomery brothers keeps growing with each book. I liked seeing Davis and Dakota and Charlie and Ruby so settled. And I am dying for more Wyatt and Fallon. I have a feeling their book is going to destroy me but I cannot wait!
