I truly cannot express my love for Amanda Woody’s writing enough. They create stories with such amazing depth. This book is somehow lighthearted and funny while also being deeply emotional and handling many tough topics. On the lighthearted side we have Emma and Caleb’s banter and crazy antics that had me in stitches. We also have their incredibly wholesome friends Jas and Alice, and the world’s sweetest character ever in Juliet. But alongside this lighthearted joyful comedy was a lot of emotion that had me teary eyed and even downright sobbing. Emma and Caleb both have complicated relationships with members of their family and with each other. I loved getting glimpses into the past showing the former friendship and the family issues. They helped me understand Emma and Caleb as individuals and as the couple they were meant to be. They have great chemistry and compliment each other so well. I did get slightly annoyed at their inability to communicate, but in the end they worked it out. So overall I highly recommend!
