It felt a little…fast? maybe? I’m not sure. Something about how everything progressed didn’t sit quite right with me. This book was sweet and such a fun, fast read but…I can’t explain it exactly. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the pacing felt off for me a little bit. But I understood it and I really found myself liking Claire more and seeing Billy as more human, not this perfect man that I’d always thought he was (ok lets be real: he’s still perfect but in a more human way). Is it still ridiculous that they’ve been separated for nearly 18 years? Hell yes.

But somewhere along the way, as I continued reading and got to see both perspectives my thoughts changed and I understood their reasonings. I was definitely bummed out that Roscoe and Simone are barely, if at all, in the book but the small mentions of them made my heart happy.Ĭlaire and Billy have definitely been through a lot and I was definitely frustrated with both of them in the beginning when I thought about how ridiculous it was that they were separated for so long. The shenanigans, the talks, the every day mundane beauty of seeing almost all of our favorites together under one room together. There are so many things I loved about this book and at the very top it has to be the amount of the Winston brothers and their women scenes. I can’t believe we are finally here! Billy and Claire finally get their HEA and it was glorious.
