Ehh, I wish that Haven could make up her mind.
Also, I really don't like that Haven named her daughter after her childhood crush. And add to that that Miah's father (Haven's husband) literally just died. That is just weird. Am I the only one who thinks that? ( )

The main characters were amazing together. I love the friends to lovers trope. Life took them on different paths, they had to learn new things about themselves in order to be right for each other. When they finally reunited they had to learn to love again. They had to work through the problems of their past and accept what they couldn't change despite their fears.

There was a lot of forgiveness, and courage shown in this book. Sometimes moving on from the past requires more courage than we think we possess. We have to allow ourselves to feel that pain. There is always some sort of thing we blame ourselves for, even if circumstances were out of our control. We have to forgive ourselves for it, and allow ourselves to say that we deserve to be happy. The shame, or the pain, shouldn't keep us back from love. It shouldn't prevent us from being happy. We are allowed to feel that way, we should feel that way.

The characters had to allow themselves that same forgiveness. They had to be patient with each other at different times to get to where they now are. I feel like the book could have gone into more in this part of the story, but it probably would have required far more pages then this book, or even the series would have allowed.

It's a fast read that touched my heart in ways I wasn't expecting. There were deeper meanings behind what they were going through that could have been dealt with more, but that would have been too deep for this love story. ( )
