5.0

This book has me brimming with so many emotions! 
Milo has a past that makes you want to scoop him up in a hug he doesn't need but definitely deserves and Niall should be booped on the head for just how long it took him to realise he has the best person already in his corner. 
Milo suffered in a controlling, detrimental and harmful relationship which is discussed in the way it made him shut himself down from the world. Niall is the one to ask him to pack up and get the hell out of there to come and piece himself back together. 
I love Milo's determination and fierceness to be exactly who he should be while still struggling with the parts of himself that were broken by a shithead.
Niall's adoration, patience and loyalty to Milo is so beautifully genuine and real. 
It's filled with finding your feet, falling in love and making a house into a home with someone elses baby in a sling across your chest. 
Truly, I can't recommend it enough.
