Wow! I read this book in less than a day! I loved both the FMC and MMC. At first, I thought the plot was moving a bit quickly, but I soon realized that the pacing was intentional and crucial to the story as a whole. The beginning of the book was just a small part of their larger journey! I enjoyed watching it unfold in my mind like a movie. P.S. I am a sucker for a cameo! 😍 đŸ« 

This book gave me all the feels—joy, laughter, sadness, anger, heartbreak, and hope. As a therapist myself, I appreciated how the book normalized therapy and highlighted how everyone can benefit from it. The dual POV in Part 2 were essential for the story to come full circle for me. Avery’s grace and forgiveness, along with Gabriel’s resilience and redemption, made this book truly amazing.
