Umm let’s start with I am not overall a fan of this book and it took a lot of time to get into. It’s not personal because normally, I adore both their stories and their humor. 

The characters just didn’t sit right. However, I am glad I read it. I am glad I finished it. 

The past characters and the future with Wren laying the ground work. 

I will say I am so proud of Remy and Sanden looked at a problem both with their own past and how it affects their mental health as well as their relationship.

That was the best part, they took a moment to step back and work on theirselves and help find better communication skills for the future. 

This provided the best part for a future and healthy relationship. 

The ending was so sweet.

So, this was my first type of book in this genre. So, for me it took a bit to get into. I will say that it’s definitely me. 

However, around the mid chapter 12 and up it got really interesting and I couldn’t stop reading it. 

I enjoyed Danny hope and no matter what he stood up for himself and what he wanted.  Wyn was adorable and so sweet.

I love how insecure they each were but open. 


Also, Edin was a fantastic type of big brother and friend!

have read most of the dmc books but for some reason, I missed this one. I laughed so hard and so much! 

I love Art and Joey. I love that the chats happened and Art knew his friends so well. 

I think it’s great as well that we got updates for Molly and a small tease on Not Dating Material. Also, the rest of the books in this series. This was so great!

I was so apprehensive to read this book. I will say it exceeded all my expectations. 

The pain, the trust and most of all the love. 

They both lost so much and then reconnected in to a world wind pain and love. 

I am so glad I read this book

I think having a villain is always helpful. I will say this I am so proud of Jackson owning his problems and finding a way to fix them. 

I think Jazmin was the worst because the reality is she hurt so many more people rather than talk with her brother. 

I am happy that Liam stood up for himself as did Bowie. 

The ending was super cute.
