My heart is so heavy after reading this and the thing is I can’t even tell you why. I feel like I have been through the wringer with my emotions. So many emotions.
I loved being back with Ronni, Rick and Deanne. Things are so different from the last book and it is hard. So god damn hard!
I loved the past storyline. It was a different POV from what we knew and I adored that character in the previous book. So much we didn’t know! And so much we did. Each time we came across a scene I remembered it was like an aha moment. So many moments both in the past and present-day just broke my heart, brought a smile to my face and at some points anger! It was just so upsetting about some of the situations and I wanted other outcomes for them all.
Gosh, I did love this. I was wrapped up in the story, the characters and the true magical writing. This will have you feeling all the emotions! Every single one of them for sure.
I won’t say anything about the storyline just make sure you have a box of tissues with you, you are going to need them! It will also leave you wanting a hell of a lot more too!
Until the next time xxx
