4.5/5

Let’s talk about something no one ever talks about when it comes to books and storylines. The importance of forgiveness and owning up to your mistakes. This book was one that had me hooked from the start, and if it were up to me (and if I had the time). I would have easily read it in one sitting.

I have never been focused on a storyline as much as Ford and Olive’s. One that was filled with second chance romances and childhood friendships. There was a mix of angst, and falling for your brother’s friend not knowing that there’s pain between the two. There was the battle between keeping your promise to your best friend, and following your heart and allowing yourself to love.

This book was so wholesome, and really just reminded me that sometimes, secrets will only cause you to crash and burn, especially if your intentions are pure. For some reason, regardless if you’re keeping secrets from someone you love to protect them will only cause them to hurt even more in the end - because they love and trust you to be honest at all times.

It’s safe to say that Ford has my heart, and I just know that him and Colm will become my favourite friendship. I can’t wait to continue reading this series and seeing how things unfold for the Kings.
