What a kismet story about Connor and Ellie. 8 years ago, Connor had a night with a woman, his angel, and then the next morning, he went to basic. Now a retired Navy seal, he and his 3 brothers have to go bury their abusive dad. As fate turns out, he needs to stay in town . He finds out that the same very girl is his new neighbor who is married and has a little girl. This story had a lot of very fantasized moments with the way their lived woven into each other. Some of it I felt was a little far-fetched, so it made me not fully invest in some of the story.  Connor and his brothers are pretty messed up from their dad and seem to all have broken hearts in this town.  Ellie is such a sweet soul who tries her best with her abusive husband. Hadley is their amazing little girl who befriends Connor the moment she meets him. I loved that little girl and the friendship she has with Connor and how protective he is immediately of them with her husband. The muffle kinda stalled out for me and then revved back up at the end, so it was very intense to start it coasts and finally get to a destination. I'm excited to see all these brothers make amends and fall.
