With a young mom escaping her abu$iv3 husband and living in her car with their 5 year old: be ready to shed some tears while reading!
The men who take Avery and Chloe in each have their own rough pasts and current issues to overcome leading to an incredible story of growth and overcoming trauma.
Chloe was such a great highlight to this story too! She made an epic sidekick for her mom and the guys both!

This book broke me in so many ways.
I was crying in every chapter, there was always something that got me.
The author wrote in detail about Avery's journey. It's not a perfect happy ending, but it was growth.
It wasn't forced just because she found love and her family to protect her, but it was herself.
Everyone gets a POV in the book, but it didn't feel like it was balanced out.
Especially the three male characters, Ryker's POV was more, and there was more chemistry and relationship built between him and Avery.
I wanted more of Zack; we didn't see much of him.
Cass, we do have his chapter, but it always feels rushed, and I wasn't focused on his storyline until the end, which felt rushed.
What was disappointing was the suspense of the read.
The suspense plotline was high in the beginning, but in the middle, it felt like we forgot all about it, only the casual mention of it here and there.
Then suddenly, the suspense happened towards the ending, and it was wrapped up within seconds.
I wish there were more action on that.
Overall, it's a cute, emotional read.
Adorable moments and the humour is GOLD.
