"Next time, I told Rosie. Because there will be a next time. And a time after that. And maybe, if we let ourselves, a forever."
This book was completely different than what I was expecting and I'm so glad that it did not disappoint. I admit that in the beginning, I was not a big fan of Daire but his character growth was really good! I adored Rosie from the very beginning though. She was sassy, sorted, mature and so caring. I loved seeing them rekindle their friendship and as they said, they made a good team! It was evident with the way they took care of Sammy and almost easily fell into a normal routine with him. And the side characters, especially Luke & Bertie certainly caught my attention! Can't wait for their book next! Overall, this was a very engaging and enjoyable read. Since I didn't know that it was part of a series, I haven't read the previous books so it was a little difficult for me to figure out the dynamics between all the characters but I gradually started to like everything because the writing was good and did not confuse me. Also, the last half of the book was great, with so many adorable moments and I was kinda waiting for something to go wrong but I'm glad that there was no unnecessary drama or a third act breakup! I just couldn't get enough of Daire & Rosie together and I want the next book already!
