I will start by saying the exploration of grief, loss, depression, betrayal, etc was done beautifully. Such complex parts of love were explored effectively. However I didn’t love this as much as I hoped to. I wish the length of this story spent more time exploring how and why Yasmen and Josiah fell in love so that I could feel more attached to their characters and more eager for them to be back together. With no history I felt their attraction was solely based on sex, their kids and the restaurant and I wanted to explore a bit more than that. Overall, I thought it was worth the read.
