When you pick up this book, be prepared to have your heart twisted and shattered, and then so sweetly and carefully pieced back together more beautiful than before - think kintsugi!
So much of Trig and Ellie's story hit my heart deeply and I felt everything they did, from the pain and confusion and frustration to the relief and peace and happy moments. Trig was amazing with his bad@$$ self in a suit. Loved his confidence, his drive, his way with Ellie (and then with her family). Ellie - you could feel so much of her struggle and pain, how much she was in desperate need of someone to have her back, front, and all over. I wanted to jump into the book and wrap her up in cotton and save her myself. Good thing Trig was better at it and already there. I loved her heart, her passion, her strength.
Another thing that shone through was the depth of love shown from so many people and places, and just what family really means.
I also gotta say - I stinkin' loved whenever Eli and Jen showed up on the pages!
So grab this book and be ready to experience twist and turns, heartache and heart-melting, and a beautiful story that will give you the best kind of book hangover.
