The story is once again divided in two parts and an epilogue. Different from “Letting You In” where Leah and his previous relationship took center of the story, the focus of this book is on Leah's and Deacon's families. The first part and the first fifteen chapters are written in Deacon's first-person perspective with retrospect in Deacon's and Bethany's relationship. He remembers the beginning of their relationship seven and six years earlier and their breakup six months ago. The last six chapters are written in Leah's first-person narrative; the epilogue in Deacon's again.Flite remains true to her concept and writing style. The story starts with an outlook in the story's future. It increases the art of suspense and the excitement of the story. Explicit thoughts and comments about the plot show the reflective approach of Flite's characters. Especially Deacon's issues with his brother need the reflection because he has to reassesses their relationship. Although I appreciate this approach, it interrupts the reading from time to time and disturbed me at the beginning. But at the end of the story I didn’t notice them anymore.I really liked the story and the combination of two storylines. Leah's and Deacon's relationship grow with their visit. They come closer and realize how important they are for each other, even when their relationship isn’t the center of the story; most of the time it is Deacon's and Leah's relationship with their families. Once again, Flite doesn’t sugarcoat Leah's and Deacon's family issues and I'm really impressed that Deacon avows that he is responsible for his part of the family's issues.
