The only problem is.... Alana hates him. (Rightfully so). Before Cal broke her heart into pieces they experienced a love that no one could forget.
"You told me you wouldn't ever leave me." he promised. It's the only reason I let him shatter our friendship with a single kiss. Because I was just as invested in our future as a couple as he seemed to be. He looks up with cloudy eyes. "I'm sorry." -Alana and Cal
"A part of me hope that he found happiness in the 6 years we spent apart. Not with someone else, but with himself. He is no better than the day he left."-Alana
But they just can't resist each other.
"Anything for you." Three words. Five syllables. One punch in the gut. -Callahan and Alana
After some time, Alana finally begins to trust Cal again. She is falling back into love with him since he makes it so damn hard not to.
"I left her arm up and nudge Lana to do the same. She copies me, causing Cami to swing between us. The giggle she lets out makes my whole heart threatened to burst like a confetti cannon." -Cal
Cal finally realized what his grandfather really meant in his letter. Why he sent him there again. Why he needs to get sober. It's for himself. So he can be there for his family.
"I make the same wish I did back at Dreamland, although I have no candle or cake to make it official. I wish to kick my addiction for good." -Cal
Cal is determined to kick his addiction and be the man that Lana needs. Be the dad that Cami wants. And finally be the happiest version of himself.

I enjoyed the fact that Alana made Cal work for it when it came to getting her back. A lot of books would have the characters getting back together in the first few chapters, but they didn't in this book, and it worked out really well that they didn't.
But you can also tell Cal only ever had good intentions when it came to Alana. I really liked that Cal knew he wasn't any good for Alana until he got help, and knew he wasn't ready to get help so he did the best thing by Alana and left, even though it hurt both of them to do so.
I do think the way the town treated Cal was a bit over the top, but I know small towns are like that and they protect their people. And you can see that while Cal hated being treated that way by everyone he was once close to, he understood their reasons and set out to prove to everyone not just Alana that he wasn't out to hurt her again.
I also really loved the bond that Cal had with Alana's daughter Cami. It was really sweet to see them interact. And camo was just the sweetest little girl and so funny. The story wouldn't have been the same without Cami.
So overall I really enjoyed this final book in the trilogy and would absolutely recommend.
