Definitely need a trigger warning for this book got women struggling with fertility, conceiving, and martially struggles due to those.
At the end, this novel does make you appreciate or think about your partner on your journey and to appreciate what you have

Very quick easy read and sweet ending and love story! A little bit sad the whole time, though.

I hate to say it, but this is definitely my least favorite CoHo book. I had a really difficult time connecting and sympathizing with Quinn despite her sad situation. I think my biggest problem with the novel is that there just isn't anything uplifting about it--it's all a bit of a long slog. The best CoHo books have highs and lows and are full of emotion. This one was all just lows for me.

If you have any triggers that involve children, childbirth, pregnancy, conceiving, please take caution reading this one. Please go into it with the mindfulness to walk away if you need to. It’s okay to have a DNF on your record, I promise.
Based on my Goodreads profile, you know how quickly I devour books. But this one...I could only handle tiny bites. Colleen Hoover’s books always do an intricate dance with my emotions on my heart, but this one pained me differently. I felt myself in this one. Painfully so. There were emotions I wasn’t ready to relive, to place, to experience again. But Graham and Quinn made me want to. “If they can, so can I.” I felt angry about the things I related to. And just needed to take this one in at my own pace. It truly was beautiful watching Graham and Quinn go through their most difficult times dancing around each other, to find their footing together again. Love isn’t perfect, marriage isn’t perfect. And this book depicts exactly that. There’s no grand gesture of love and a cheesy happy ending. It’s their perfect ending. I’m glad I started reading this on August 8th.
If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.
I told you so.
9/10 Second Chance

I loved this book. Read first 5 hours on drive home and then the last on the drive back! So so good, wasn’t what you always thought was going to happen. Made me consider many life situations

TW for infertility/miscarriage.
This book low key feels like emotional whiplash because it goes from the past to present every other chapter.
This book hit a little too close to home but still a good read. Quick read, read it in one night. It held my attention but I know this book won't be that memorable for me. I liked both of the characters. I just don't have much to say about this book honestly.
