“Our souls were tied a long time ago, I think. We’re just finally admitting it to each other.”

I’m so mad I didn’t read this sooner! ALL THE STARS!!!

Win has always been independent to a fault. Born with a limb difference, Win learned how to do things on her own— not wanting to be coddled. When Win meets Bo one Halloween, she feels truly wanted for every part of herself.

Bo has been struggling the last year— battling with cancer and an eventual leg amputation. On top of that, him and his  fiancé had a falling out. Bo was all alone, until he bumped into Win…

The two part ways, until Win realizes she’s pregnant. She tracks Bo down and he steps up right away. Offering to have her come stay at the extra room in his house while the baby is young. Win is unsure how to handle this situation with a near stranger, especially one she is falling head over heels in love with.

The love and adoration these two had for each other had me crying. They truly loved every single thing about each other. Bo was a total sweetheart, honoring Win’s wishes and making her feel welcome in his home.
