I loved how much Dex loves Lainey, it was so sweet and the way he showed it to her each day was adorable. I wasn't a big fan on the 'insta love' but it was so sweet, he accepted her as she is, built her up and worked at her pace, didn't pressure her at any point. I loved how completely he and his kids accepted her into their family, they loved her so fully. 

Lainey was really strong and had a really sad background. I felt like this was given a good amount of detail to understand Lainey better but wasn't the only thing about her that was important. She was so kind and bubbly and so good with the children. 

There was a good amount of actual plot and some interesting twists and turns with it as well. I liked the inclusion of all the side characters, they felt important in their own way. It really was a chosen family book which I enjoyed. 

Also the epilogue was cute.
