“Harry I…” I trailed off as I looked down at our linked hands then back up at his face. “Thank you for coming for me.” He frowned. “I’ll always come for you, Verity. Always.”

I really liked seeing Harry & Verity together. Being apart for 20 years and loving each other all this while must've been difficult for them, so I was very glad that they got their much impending HEA. One thing I really like about Susie Tate's book is the way she writes about kids. Because in every book I've read of her, the children who are involved are so stinking cute and you can't help but adore them and it was the same case in this one. Whether it was Sophie, Tille, Jake or Mike, all the kids were so damn cute! And I liked the way Harry & Verity were so close and affectionate with them! Those moments were really heartwarming and lightened up the story a bit. Overall, this book was enjoyable but the time skip of eighteen months just threw me off and the way it took so much time for Harry to figure out what actually happened to Verity & Heath during their childhood was so damn frustrating. At times, the book felt streched at it got boring tbh. I was expecting too much from the plot but if the execution was slightly better, I would've loved the book more. So while I loved Harry & Verity together, I felt like some parts could've been written better.
