YALLLLL WE HAVE ANOTHER 5!!!!!! Ahhhh this was TEWWWWWWWW good. Millie Belizaire does it again!!! She got me the first time with The Garden of Eden, and i have no idea why it took me so long to read this one as well. Wow. What a heartbreaking, beautiful second chance romance.

I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!! Check trigger warnings. And i mean check them hoes TWICE. BACKWARDS. FORWARDS. AND THEN AGAIN. This book is heavyyyyyyyy. But so so beautiful. I'm talking I had to take a couple breaks while reading this, and the tears were not far behind. This book starts rough. Kids are involved. Please check trigger warnings.

But wow. I loved Caprice, I loved Shaun, ughhhhhh. The second chance romance portion got my ass so good i was giggling and heheing the entire time. I loved how real this was too. It wasnt just they found each other again and there was no hurt or no irritated expressed. This was very realistic and showcased so many raw emotions. I loved that she was a cry baby too. I feel like books now-a-days give the whole "strong woman" trope which dont get me wrong i love to see and believe at our core thats just who we are as black women, but its nice to see one where she cries. And shit he does too!! UGHHHHHYOHJTGIJERGIJEAGRIJERG. What i would do for a shaun goes insane. 

Beautiful beautiful book. Beautifully written, beautifully composed, no notes. Read this!!! <3
