I picked up this book cause it sounded interesting & counted towards one of the kindle challenges. I did not expect to love it as much as I did! It just reminded me of why I love reading so much, & how books can change your life. 

Ashlyn & Ethan are such a sweet couple that were brought together by the books, & because of the books, they were able to finally heal old wounds & move on with their lives together. & I just love that! 
And Belle & Hemi’s love story, is heartbreaking, how so many things just tore them apart, leading to them writing the books, but in the end, years later, they are brought back together & finally get the happily ever after we all wanted for them since the beginning. 

Just a very sweet read, & though not a book I would have normally picked up, I am really glad I did.
