This rocked me to my core! Having cared for a grandmother with dementia- this ripped at my heart. What a beautiful and witty love story!!!

A real life encounter of hard work, motivation, family and true love - at all costs.

It just went on and on about feelings.

It’s Abby’s newest book, so of course I preordered this. I love all of her books. This one, however, just didn’t “hit” quite right. Obviously, it wasn’t bad enough for me to give it a low rating, but this is the first of Abby’s books that I couldn’t rate with a glowing five stars. I liked the pacing. The dialogue was great. I felt like there could’ve been some more character development, though. I think this was also just more difficult for me to enjoy because the conflict was overt. The problem was trying to make a long-distance relationship work, with no end to the distance in sight. This wasn’t a temporary circumstance of a deployment or other job requiring traveling. I also felt like, in order to turn the ending into her signature “happily ever after,” Abby tied things up a little TOO easily, too neatly. Some parts of the resolution just didn’t feel realistic for me, and one thing I love about Abby’s books is how real and relatable they are. There was also a story arc that I was very much opposed to, although different people have different perspectives on this. Abby herself has even said that particular arc is “intentionally nuanced and complex,” in her own words (join the spoiler group for more amazing tidbits straight from her!). Having lost my own dad do Alzheimer’s, though, this particular story arc fell with a rotten-tomato splat to me. Dearest fellow readers, please don’t let this deter you from reading the book. Plenty of people love it, and I do understand why. Like I said, I did enjoy the book. I finished it in two days!

My favorite book of hers so far. Loved the characters so much! Can’t say much more without giving anything away, but it all felt so real.

Plumbs the depths of human emotions. Love, sorrow, angst. It’s got it all

Ok read,not memorable .

The characters hooked me, the real emotion and hardship kept me pulling for these people’s happy ending. An uplifting unexpected surprise, highly recommend

I read it one day i love the ending!!

Such a meaningful and beautiful story.
