As usual, Center delivers the feels, hard topics, and unique perspectives. I did think the MC's crush was a bit over the top since she's a grown woman, but I understand what was needed for the plot. There weren't surprises in this book for me, but I still really enjoyed it and was rooting for the characters to find happiness and peace in each other. I will, of course, be continuing through Center's backlist.

A step above the romantic comedy and chick lit stories that have flooded bookstores and social media. Center explores family and friendship,  trauma and healing,  and how the stories we tell ourselves impact decisions in ways large and small.
