Holy smokes. What a joy. What a rollercoaster. Unravel Me is heart-wrenching and sexy and so hopeful. Rosie and Adam’s love story is one for the ages. After both having their hearts broken in many different ways and neither of them feeling like they could ever be enough, fate bringing them together warmed my soul to its core.

Was the plot predictable? Absolutely. Did that make it any less charming? Absolutely not.

I adore this book. I adore Adam and Rosie. The best of the series so far.

 "She doesn’t knock the air from my lungs when she walks into a room; she breathes the life back into me. "

Let me just start off by saying I am no way ready to say goodbye to this chaotic wholesome found family group that has been the source of my joy for the last 2 weeks I've been reading this series. It just keeps getting better and more wholesome! It guts me that we have to wait until July 30 to read Jaxon and Lennon's story and I am absolutely stoke for book 4!! I am (Im)patiently waiting!! :D 

I had the absolute blast reading this book! Let me tell you I was not prepared for just how much this book brought me to tears! As an animal lover, the amount of times I swooned and melted during the cutest scenes with the animals made this book feel like such a comforting hug. This book also deals with some heavy themes and I would highly recommend looking up the content warnings before you start reading. Something about this book feels like a safe space and a comforting hug at the same time for people who have doubted their self-worth their whole life and don't feel like their enough for people and reading this genuinely feels like I've been through therapy in the best way possible. I love how Becka Mack writes some passages that are just so meaningful and profound that I literally had to reread and pause and just let the message seep through. I love those very insightful paragraphs that not only is reflective but also very inspiring and heartfelt! 

Adam and Rosie were just so perfect for each other and I love how they each have their own heavy pasts but they had each other as that safe space they can call home. I lost count on the times I swooned over Adam being such a epitome of the best dad to Connor and Lily. And Connor! That boy stole my heart right from the start and I just want to protect him at all costs!! I also just want to hug Lily so bad I feel so much for that precious girl! My heart hurts for what Rosie and Connor had to go through and I am so glad that Adam was there to love them through it. Rosie is so courageous and only wants the best for her son and she's just the best mama! The most touching part was how the family group accepted Rosie and Connor into their family with open arms and big hearts. I will always have such a soft spot for this chaotic and loving group of people and I get so excited and happy to say hello again to familiar characters! I can gush about them for days but I just want to say that I would never get tired of reading about this family! I absolutely love reading this and I cannot recommend it enough! Book 4 can't come soon enough! I am ready for moree!!

He laughs again, and I’m struck by how much I like being the reason.

β€œYou thought of me, and that’s a big deal to me.β€œ

β€œIt’s not that I feel less fractured with Rosie, but that the light streams in anyway, between all the shattered pieces left behind. I find beauty there, a sense of peace that tells me good things are waiting.”

β€œI don’t think my forever exists without you somewhere inside it.”
