What an emotional read. I knew it would be because her books always are, but I was especially invested in these characters for some reason.
This book had vibes like the movie, Serendipity, which was a favorite of mine when it came out. I loved that they had one magical night together and then eventually reunited.
Cancer is very prevalent in this book so if that is a trigger for you please be very careful. It isn't a trigger for me but I'm still weepy after finishing and teared up while I read.
I loved how Ashley talked about the importance of live donors in this book I loved that a transplant saved Elliott's life. But what I really loved was the support system around her. Her parents, her best friend, and now Jamie. He is the most amazing man. I love how he was there for her in big and small ways. I also loved the role his dog played in the book.
I love relationships like theirs where it doesn't have to be anything special or fancy. I loved that they were content to hang out or go somewhere. I love how they supported each other's dreams and passions. This was a beautiful story of true love.

This book was gut wrenching and heartbreaking but at the same time beautiful. The themes of found family in this book are truly beautiful and I love how over and over Gabe's family enveloped Anna. I also loved how intelligent and strong Anna was in spite of how difficult her life had been. I loved how she turned her trauma into a way to help others and how selflessly she did so as an obstetrician.
Gabe was both amazing and infuriating. I loved how he was always there for Anna in so many amazing ways but boy did he drive me insane with some of his mistakes. I'm glad this was a HEA and he redeemed himself. By truly he was exactly what Anna needed even when he was stupid.
This book has some pretty serious triggers. Please check those if you need to. Also you'll probably want Kleenex.
