“In a room full of people, he’s the only one I want to see.”
There were so many things I loved about this story, but one of my favorite ones was how the author showed that there's more to being a woman than just being a mom, even if you are a mom. How it's ok to have dreams and want things for yourself that don't revolve around your kids.
Astrid is the widow of Penn's best friend, which makes their feelings for each other complicated. But there's no denying that they are meant to be together. I loved the way that they supported each other first as friends, which only was enhanced when they became more. Penn is the absolute perfect partner, and it made me happy that Astrid got to experience the difference between a good and a poor partner. Another thing that I loved was how Astrid didn't let her relationship with her ex affect what their kids thought of their father.
Aiden Snow and Vanessa Edwin are both ntm narrators, and I gotta say they were perfect for this story. They brought all the feels and absolutely killed it.
Quote: “This is it for me. This is what I want. You and the kids. A life of the two of us chasing our dreams together, lots of naked times, and late-night talks. I want to build a future with you because you are the woman that was meant for me.”
