I read The Best Laid Plans last year and had loved it. But there was a scene featuring this super brash British linebacker, and a sunshine girl - the the child they were both guardians to - that stuck in my head. So when I got a chance to read their book early and find out more about those characters that drew me in, I jumped at it.

๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐: This book lived up to the hype I had in my head for it.
From the prologue, I was hooked. Karla Sorenson is great at weaving deep emotions into her books, and did an epically good job creating both Zoe and Liam. From the jump I was attached to them, and their inner monologues were so romantic.
This was a slow burn - but done in such a way that I almost enjoyed the tension. Sure I was yelling โJUST KISS HER ALREADYโ to my kindle by 70% but the payoff was all worth it.
Man, be careful on this one if youโre sensitive to a grief struggle, though. I cried several times, and Iโm still a bit melancholy after finishing.
