This book was beautiful. Simply beautiful.
This was the first I have read of Tess Sharpe's work and I'm glad to have read it.
Although remaining to be a romance read, Sharpe was able to incorporate many different emotions throughout this book by bringing up some heavy topics.
There was significant detail on the effects that grief can have on different people and the coping mechanisms that each individual has.
There were many moments throughout this book where I just wanted to give Penny and Tate a hug. Both have been through so much but they always made sure they were there for one another. I do admire that about them.
On the romance side of things, this book had it all: the one bed trope, forced proximity, miscommunication, a love-hate relationship, etc.
There was also another little side relationship that I thought was absolutely adorable!
I love Sharpe's writing style and I really loved the text messages that flowed into the story. They certainly added to the overall vibe of the book and also allowed for a quick recovery break for the reader between emotional scenes.
All in all, I would highly recommend reading this book if you haven't already!!
