 I just couldn’t find the will to care about these 2 plus this book was unnecessary long and repetitive at times. I loved book 1 but this one? No.

It’s funny how Banner called Kenan’s ex wife a whore for cheating on him with his teammate and then she proceeds to do the exact same thing to Zo. Look how the tables have turned.

Jared was annoying from the start “ yeah I’m not a good man, if I want her I’ll just take her and idc what they think about me,...” He’s just an egoistic man

that had no decency to wait for her to at least sort things out with her BF who was in another country building an orphanage. 

Also can we talk about the mother calling her a Puta? And how she said that Zo’s sperm were her grandchildren? Ew🤮

The only reason why I give this book 2 stars is because I was more curious about Zo’s disease and the how Banner was his caregiver when he was sick

This book was so perfect that I don’t even know what to say. Yes it was a heavy read but I couldn’t put my book down even to take a moment to breathe because the writing was just so beautiful. 
If you want to read this book please check out the TW because it deals with heavy topics
