Often when I finish a book I worry that my review will not convey how it affected me. To be honest most books are good, and it is easy to move on to the next.  This book!  Holy mother of monkeys!  I couldn’t  put it down. And the tears aren’t all sad-some are truly laugh out loud funny.  There are no words for how much this book is affected me.Love that the focus of the story is their love. Yes life goes on, there is some drama and turmoil, but this is truly a romance.  A love story all around.The story resonated with me.  These characters have taken hold of my heart and I am perfectly fine with that fact.Like their relationship-he cares even though he has been cradling this broken heart for 17 years. She has tried to change  her entire nature to prevent hurting anyone, but has only succeeded in dampening her spirit.  They don’t lie about how they still feel. They do their healing and falling back into each together.  The passion jumps off the page,  they both come back to life with the other. After some missteps and false starts they are both in it- all in. Even when she gets scared and runs he’s there. Even when he has loss and she has loss they turn to each other. He is his best honest self with her and she is as well.  He writes her beautiful poetry. (Cue sobs) Neither of them take the second chance they’ve been given for granted. With a few exceptions (because we still need some drama) they actually communicate!!!It’s also a huge family ensemble piece-they all love each other fiercely and take care of each other. They rally around and put family first.Well-written, funny, tender and stunning-just no words. Beautiful and overwhelming. Really freaking incredible.And can I say damn- those Wellington boys are something else- when Asher gives Willow the new charm, how Adrian doesn’t give up even when Shay runs or tries to close down, whew- love them. They are all appreciative and honor the love they have been given. The love they see in their parents is the marker for their hearts, their true north.
