This book is so special to me. It was my first Katherine Center book & I am not sure exactly what I was expecting going in, but it turned all my expectations upside down & surpassed them by MILES. The way that Katherine writes about relationships & how we as humans change as we go through experiences in life is inspiring- truly inspiring. While I’ve seen her books categorized as “feel-good” romances/women’s lit, I think that descriptor is a disservice to the heavy topics that are so artfully written about in this story. But, I do feel so much hope after watching a woman who is so tenacious & relatable learn to navigate forgiveness. I couldn’t put it down, not because I wanted to continue the romance (which is great, but I would categorize as a sub-sub-plot) but, because I was so invested in our FMC’s arc (she’s a firefighter btw & she’s so badass- I want to be her). The title is also just so perfect & every time I look at the cover or say the title it really invokes all the feelings/take-aways I had from this story. Katherine Center is quickly becoming an auto-buy author for me, but it’ll be hard to top this. 🔥🩵🚒

This was a very cute and emotional book about forgiveness. I enjoyed the story, but found some of the descriptions and scenes a little ridiculous. Not necessarily the physical feats of the woman, but how nicely everything wraps up and how everything just lines up perfectly. It was a good book to break up some heavier novels and series that I'm reading.
