Josie did remind me a lot of Liz, though not so much a speaker cause of her hotheadedness as it is out of wanting to live for herself finally. She has gone through so much trauma- childhood and with the captor aliens- so it only makes sense that she is more steadfast about not being taken advantage of and looks out for her best interest and happiness now that she has the chance.

Plus, it's kind of great that Haeden remains a surly Neanderthal when it comes to Josie.

Once I got to read Haeden's POV and get his background and feelings, I was totally smitten with him. His story is so sad, and his actions make sense once you understand him. I wished he had shared more of his feelings out loud. Of course, that's part of the angsty drama.
I personally had a hard time connecting to Josie. I like that she's supposed to be a sunshine character, but her strong and constant desire to have a baby, especially after all the trauma she's gone through, just doesn't make sense to me. It was a little jarring to go from Tiffany's book, which I thought handled her trauma really well, to Josie's book where she doesn't seem affected by her past at all. She briefly mentions things, but then just gets over it...? (Good for her, I guess. Are there people out there like that? I don't know any myself...) I know every woman is different, so there are women out there who will feel a connection with her. I'm just not one of them. I wished she treated Haeden better sooner.

Josie mentions being sexually abused when she was in foster care . She does not go into great detail. Haeden very briefly attempts suicide in a moment when he thinks he's lost Josie.alisoun's review against another edition

It's miscommunication because they both express their love differently 🥺🥺🥺🥺 he's all acts of service and she's expecting words of affirmation.
I really enjoyed re reading their journey!
In a way I also think this is a second chance resonance for Haeden but with someone he actually loves!
