Asher’s depiction of alcoholism is well researched and written with respect for those who struggle with substance abuse.
Alana is a woman after my own heart with her love of baking. I respect her need to put Cami before anyone else, even Cal’s need to get sober.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for a golden retriever boy and a happy ending.

What I liked: I haven't read many second chance romances but this is definitely one of my favourites. Alana and Cami have my heart. I love how caring and kind Alana is and how protective she is of Cami. She works incredibly hard to give her everything. If I could give Alana the world I wouldS. Callahan...He..I...I love him. I love how he learns to be better, not just for other people but for himself. Him learning and discovering that everyone can get their happily ever after as long as they put in the work for it is one of my favourite parts of this book.
