I started reading this thinking that it was a happy go-lucky rom-com and instead found a very emotional coming of age romance. Which was the type of wholesomeness that my heart truly needed.

Hannah White managed to escape a domestic violence home to start a new life for her & her new daughter. In this small town, she meets Police Officer Andrew Brody and unexpectedly fall in love, while simultaneously healing.

Once I started reading, it was incredibly difficult to put this book down. I loved the writing style, I loved how the story flowed and kept me captivated. I love how invested I felt in these characters.

My only complaint is how quickly the relationship between Hannah & Brody developed. It felt odd how quickly she developed feelings after leaving an abusive relationship. I would have loved to see a deeper friendship develop first.

Thank you NetGalley & HQ Digital for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
