Just finished "Holding" by Alexandria House! This rollercoaster of love, loss, and redemption in the St. Louis Sires series had me hooked from start to finish. The alternating timelines added depth, though it took some focus. Terrence and Krystle's journey through childhood love, separation, and rediscovery is both heartwarming and raw.
The portrayal of mental illness is sensitive and authentic, highlighting the importance of understanding and support. Terrence's unwavering love for Krystle, navigating her bipolar disorder, was beautifully portrayed.
House's signature humor provides a perfect balance, making this emotional ride a truly enjoyable read. If you're into love stories with genuine characters and a touch of levity, "Holding" is a must-read!
