If Only You by Chloe Liese
5.0
I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I've been waiting for Ziggy's story! The bits and pieces I've seen of her across the other Bergman Brothers books I've read have been wonderful. I knew I would love her journey but I didn't realise how much I would also love Sebastian's journey.
The themes of this story -- self-care, healing, found family, taking risks -- are ones that hit close to home and really speak to me. Seb and Ziggy's experiences and fears are so well portrayed. You can't help but be sucked in and cheer them on. And the glimpses into the relationships of the rest of the Bergman siblings were darling additions. Linnea is always hilarious!
My only critique is the pacing of the ending. Most of the story is a slow burn, building the foundation of Seb and Ziggy's friendship. They work on themselves and their own journeys, which is beautiful to see. But because of that, the ending ends up feeling ever so slightly rushed. It doesn't quite flow with the rest of the story despite how much I loved the ending.
I've been recommending this book to everyone I know!
