Okay, Ms authoress Alexandria can’t keep putting me in my feels like this.

Terrence and Krystal were a joy to journey with through everything they went through. I also appreciate the conversations around mental illness and how they were able to navigate them individually and as a couple.

I’ve also learned a bit about hockey that I might could fake being a fan at a game one day lol 😂

 House doesn’t let you down.  I loved this book and just her writing. She does such a good job giving you a tv worthy story.  Second chance romances seem to be becoming my favorite especially when done right.  And this one is.  Definitely worth reading.
