4.75

4.75 out of 5 stars: From the tavel aspects to the settings of this book, it was everything I needed to get my mind off of the pain of winter. This book has so many great themes, from the messiness of family, to struggles with a parent, especially when there is a
death of one
, to there being more to one side to a person people can know, how our parents relationships can affect our views, and our coping mechanisms.

While the romance was fun with the antagonists to more with how Theo and Lexi opened up and shared things,
wishes for secrets
. I loved the found family feeling of the agency, Ang mother henning them all, was everything.

The letter from Lexi's dad was everything and honestly something I wish I could hear from my own father. I also love how Lexi finally opened up to Rachel and allowing the bond. How Lexi learned to let go and see there was two sides to her dad. How Rachel apologized for her parents wrong doings.
Honestly the pace killed me otherwise, I would've given it 5 stars.
