“I’m not scared. Or at least I’m not scared enough to stop it. I’m brave enough to try.”

I loved this story so much, it’s all about being brave enough to try even if you know there’s a possibility to get hurt, after already being hurt in the past. Teagan and Ransom both swore off love because of painful experiences, but their attraction is so strong that eventually they start considering wanting more. I loved how much everybody talked to each other. Friends giving them a little push, promising them both separately that it would be okay whatever happened, and also them talking to each other about their wants. It was amazing to catch up to all the other couples from this series, I loved reading the chapters from all their POVs. So many weddings, so many happy couples! I also loved how the use of sign language was incorporated in the story. Ransom and Tempest use it when they’re having a conversation on the street, ribbing on each other as siblings do without people around them having any clue what they’re talking about! It’s great that it’s part of their lives, having a sister who is hard of hearing, but that it isn’t made into a big deal. A great example to how it’s done well!
