5/5 Oliver Lynch. "lotus...it was her. It's always been her. Sydney Neville + Oliver Lynch." lo+ns upside down. My goodness did this story break me and heal parts of me that I didn't even know needed healing. These two will live rent free in my head forever. I love that Gabe and Tabitha connected and that Clementine finally got to share her story, but the love between Oliver and Sydney is so profound. From Olver being kidnapped for 22 years, to rebuilding their friendship, to finally accepting love...ugh I just love them both so much. Oliver and Sydney both lost so much when he was taken, but their bond is forever unbreakable.
