I loved this book so much omg 🥺 like my heart feels so full right now! I laughed, I cried, I swooned! Literally all of the emotions passed through me at one point or another throughout this book! Paxton & Baxter have my whole heart, these two deserve so much love and getting to see them fall in love with each other over the Christmas season was so special! I loved both of them individually and I loved them together. I adored both Becca & Nathan and how much they loved their dads and how much their dads loved them 🥰 This is a story about finding a family, about finding a home after waiting for so long to have one! This was a story about joy and sorrow and grief but most of all it was about love. Love in all it’s forms. How love is the most important thing of all! Love for your family, love for your partner, but also love for yourself! I loved the emphasis on having to choose to take care of yourself! I loved that this wasn’t just a story where once they got together, everything was magically better because that’s not how mental illness and grief work. You have to choose to take care of yourself, you have to want to be better, you have to do it for yourself. And yes, you need other people but falling in love isn’t an instant fix. And on top of them choosing to be better for themselves, they also learned how to lean on each other and be open and allow themselves to love and be loved back. Ugh I just loved this so much and it’s definitely going to stick with me for a long time!
