Caisey Caisey Caisey. Just when I thought I already wanted to give you big squishy hugs, you release another book. Then I want to give you big squishy hugs and kiss your face! How could you possibly have been nervous about the release of this book!?!? How did you have any doubt how good this was!?!? I think there is something in the water with authors lately because y'all have been writing some amazing books! Okay, I know this is weird but can I just say that I love how Van isn't perfect and he doesn't pretend to be. I love his wit and sarcasm. I love his banter with Stella. I love his ... Ummmm sexual encyclopedia of tricks. And with Stella. She almost starts off as this mouse. This little thing. But man did she have us fooled, that woman is fierce. Her love is fierce, her strength is fierce, her determination is fierce. It's like Van unlocked this in her, let the beast out. And I loved. Every. Minute. Caisey does an amazing job of pulling you into the story of Van and Stella, like a magnet you are drawn to them. Even with hurtful words spat from his mouth, and we know how much words can hurt, I was still team Van. But there were also curveballs thrown in I didn't see coming... The fiancé, the band, her mother. But all of it, his past, her parents secrets, all of it. I could understand and empathize with all of it. It wasn't something that was out of this world crazy circumstances. It's all very real. And with the way Caisey writes you can't help but imagine going through all those choices each one of our characters had to make. You can't help but feel like you like the moment. It's just amazing, it's really the only word that comes to mind. From start to fighting finish, it's imperfectly perfect.
