Well, Jennifer did it again. A story about love after loss, or in Parker’s case, love for the very first time, that absolutely shattered my heart, put it back together and then shattered it again for good measure. I don’t know how she does it, but the tragedies she puts on the page are written so well that I feel as if I’m there and dealing with their grief with them. I felt this story in my soul.
I really loved Parker and Melody, they are both broken but in very different ways. Melody had known love to it’s depths before it was ripped from her and Parker didn’t really believe in it, at least not for himself. Their chemistry was off the charts, I loved their first meeting so much. The grumpy/sunshine trope was absolutely perfect for this pair. I loved the side characters too; Bree, West, Leah and Amelia were all so great.
I was caught off guard no less than 5 times during this book. I should have seen a few of the twists coming looking back, but the heartbreak and surprise hit me like a brick. I loved everything about this story and how they ended up. Their child’s name had me in tears, it was so beautiful. I just… yeah… read it, you won’t be disappointed.
The audio was fantastic. Stephanie Kay and Neill Thorne were absolutely wonderful as Parker and Melody and I adored this listen.
