The sequel to The Simple Wild, this is the story of what happens after the HEA. It follows Calla and Jonah for just shy of their first year together as they purchase a home (complete with air field). It's the story of Calla maturing and starting to understand what sort of adult she wants to be. There's not much of an over-arching plot, but the day-to-day activities and watching Calla grow as a person are an enjoyable read.

honestly, this is a very unserious book. i don't even wanna go into the technicalities of their spending here because calla and jonah both need financial literacy training but surprisingly, they never ran out of money. maybe she was a whiner but i gotta give due credit to calla. their problems would have never been talked about if it weren't for her since jonah was too busy at work or being h word or he just didn't feel the need to bring up the topic/know how to broach it which is soooo frustrating. he could be on the right side of the argument but i'd still side with my girl calla out of spite.
the last thing i'll be talking about accounts for 2 out of the 3 stars i chose not to give: marie and jonah's dynamic had me STRESSING. what is so hard about setting boundaries with the girl your partner is jealous of? your history with her is irrelevant! just do it! it shouldn't be that hard!!!! at some point, i even thought toby came into the picture to give jonah a dose of his own medicine but alas, y'all hate to see women win.

Muszę przyznać, że spodziewałam się czegoś więcej. Tych emocji, które poczułam przy pierwszym tomie. Druga część jest dobra ale nie tak wspaniała. Wiele razy główna bohaterka potrafiła irytować swoim zachowaniem i nawet jak próbowałam ją zrozumieć, czasami mnie przytłaczała. Historia była ciekawa, zwłaszcza postacie drugoplanowe, były barwne i ciekawe. Niestety ucinam jedną gwiazdkę też przez końcówkę. Przez kilka ostatnich rozdziałów tyle się działo, że nagle straciłam rytm... Czułam, że ostatnie momenty były wrzucone za bardzo na hura, bo autorka nie chciała zrezygnować z pomysłów.

This book WRECKED me in the best way. I love Jonah and Calla so much.
Talk about learning to love YOURSELF!!! I love love love that although Calla moves there for him, she learns to love it for herself and live there FOR HER. At one point she talks about how our lives are completely different from what we post, and I was bawling. It’s so true. The happiest posts on social media don’t show the ugly side that is real life.
This series is such a realistic take on a happily ever after - that it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows and real life is hard and takes an unbelievable amount of work.
Standing ovation. Well done.
