Everyone drew closer to him, like he was a magnet and they were metal. 

“Light follows him. It’s always sunny when he’s around.”

It felt like someone had slipped glasses on my face. And that someone had given me permission to see.

Then I held on to her. There wasn’t much else to say, not until I could puzzle it all out in my head, so I just held on to her. Tight enough that maybe the next time she thought about going it alone, she’d remember there was no need.

What a fantastic conclusion to this series. I loved the closure we got to Vera's story and the peak into all their lives now.

I loved Vera and Mateo together. I love how even before they recognized each other's feelings they knew each other so well. I love how he was there for her on the hard days even before he knew her whole story. I loved how she loved little Allie. 

Honestly I just loved everything. This book made me cry a couple of times. Mateo was just so good with her grief and uncertainty. And she was so good with helping him find his purpose in life and getting him in the air again.
