This book starts off with characters you’ve met in other books of the authors. You do not need to read those other books in order to understand what is going on in this book. There are some spoilers if you read this book and haven’t read the other ones first. But enough about that getting into this book have no words. The angst And turmoil that you feel from the two main characters is heartbreaking at times you want to root for them the entire way through the book. I never thought I could dislike a character as much as I did as one of their mothers. Go through the ups and downs with this couple you won’t regret it.
