This book was AMAZING, full of so many EMOTIONS and a MUST READ. I was not prepared to experience so much emotion while reading this but I am glad that I had some tissues near by because they are definitely needed when reading.

Valerie, I LOVED her! I found her very relatable when it came to her relationship with her mother. She experienced tragedy at a young age, but she is a fighter and overcame that. She is beautiful inside and out. I loved her relationship with her sisters, too. I wanted to be an honorary Stephens sister! Padraig, that man is seriously incredible. I feel for him, he is going through so much change in his life. Of course, he meets Val when he needs someone the most. Their relationship was beautiful.

I loved everything single minute of this book. The good, the beautiful, and the extremely heartbreaking moments. Not only were Val and Padraig AMAZING characters, but the secondary characters were perfect. Seriously, where can I find myself a Nan?! She cracked me up so much throughout the story.

Whether you’ve read anything by Karina or not this book is MUST read! Be ready to experience a rollercoaster of emotions but it is worth every single moment!
