Customer Reviews

One of the best books I have read in quite awhile!

This is a breath holding story of two people who love each other and try their best to care for each other. Loving friends and family in a small town are there to embrace everyone in their time of need. The highs and lows continue thru the breath holding. The emotions felt reading this keep you extremely present with the characters. I didn’t exhale until the story was complete and I had shed many tears!

Forever one of my favorite romance novels ❤️✨

Such a wholehearted novel, a beautiful balance of emotional chaos and enduring triumphs. Loved this book from beginning to end. Definitely recommend it to anyone who's had a mentally turbulent/struggling relationship in their lives. A complicated psychological romance story at it's best. ❤️✨👍🏽 Forever one of my favorites.
