Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Oh my heart! I laughed, I cried, I swooned and I loved so freaking hard! I felt everything<\/i> and couldn’t get enough of it!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the best thing to ever happen to me twice.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After completely falling in love with this series, I was so ready for this book. [book:The Man I Love|39092829] gave us a tragically beautiful and highly emotional love story from the POV of hero, Erik. [book:Give Me Your Answer True|39092877] gave us that same story, and a whole lot more, from tormented heroine, Daisy. This book picks up the story from where both of those books left off, giving us a heartachingly beautiful second-chance-romance as Erik and Daisy finally find the life together they always wanted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou broke and left, but then you came back. Because you were meant to be mine.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Told entirely from Erik\u2019s POV, I loved that we got to see this part of their story in such beautiful detail. He and Daisy are soulmates who are meant to be together, they\u2019ve both been to hell and back, and now they\u2019ve found each other again. It\u2019s beautiful, sweet and touching, but there is also so much pain there. The trauma that tore them apart, the years of their separation, and the guilt of all of the hurt they caused each other still plagues them both, and they have a lot to work through. But they want each other, they want a future together, and they are determined to fight through it all to get their happy ending.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re still the one I can tell anything. You\u2019re still the one, when my sentences run out of words, you finish them by looking at me. But at the same time you\u2019re surprising me. I still get to discover you. I love who you\u2019ve become. And I love that who I\u2019ve become still works with you.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The book follows Erik and Daisy years into their life together, and I loved it. After all they\u2019ve been through I loved getting so much detail of their happy ending. But it\u2019s not all roses and sunshine. The ghosts of their past haven\u2019t fully gone away, and there is more heartache that they have to endure. I cried and wailed, honestly not wanting to see them go through even more pain, but it\u2019s a part of their journey, and I loved watching them stand by each other, having each others\u2019 backs completely as they live each moment of their lives together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever you have, you give it to me. Whatever you put in my way, I will move it. I\u2019m not afraid of anything you show me. I\u2019ll never leave you.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And more than just Erik and Daisy\u2019s reconciliation, this is also about Erik and Will. As a best friend to both of them, Will was also hurt by Erik\u2019s desertion, and watching the two men come back together and fall back into their easy friendship was beautiful. The love between the two men was beautifully explored, and I loved seeing their banter and camaraderie as they found each other again and recaptured the magic that is them together. And I loved Will and Lucky were such a huge a part of Erik and Daisy\u2019s story. The two couples truly became family, and seeing how intertwined they are with each other\u2019s life was just gorgeous.<\/p>\n

There is also a lot of the story focusing on Erik\u2019s past, and on him discovering his family roots. It\u2019s an important part of his journey, I was happy for him to find all of that, but I didn\u2019t need to see it all in so much detail, and I found myself zoning out a bit as he explored his family tree, which is why I didn\u2019t 5-star this one.<\/p>\n

For me, this book was all about Erik and Daisy, and I loved it. It was an emotional and celebratory story of their love and all that they felt for each other, and I couldn\u2019t get enough of it. I loved the detail, the feels, the ups and the downs, and the pure beauty and perfection that is these two together.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove can bring out the best and worst in us. We\u2019ve all been a jackass for love. But love makes us do amazing things. And if love drives us away, love is what brings us back. Love makes up pick up the phone. Love makes us listen. Love makes us say I\u2019m sorry. Love makes us forgive. Love makes us better. Love makes us our best.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4.5 stars<\/p>\n
