The writing was excellent and relatable. It was a great progression watching both Michael and Natalie grow as characters, and face the obstacles in front of them, supporting each other - or muddling thru mistakes to get there. 

I liked the semi-unresolved story for Michael, trying to navigate abandonment and rejection, and learning the value of forgiveness over vengeance. While some of his situation wrapped up, other pieces of it didn’t which felt realistic. 

It was a slower pace of a book but it was well done and had you invested in the characters and where they were headed. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
