 For any new Jessica Redland readers out there, your heart is safe in Jessica's hands! The more of her books that I read, the more I've come to realise that they all deal with topics that are slightly hard to talk about, topics that deal with a range of emotions and definitely topics that will resonate with her wide audience. I appreciate the care and thoughtfulness that she takes when writing about tricky circumstances and love the way that she describes what her characters are going through without judgement, without belittling the subject matter and with a great dose of love. This book deals with issues of loss, grief, gaslighting and infertility but it also surrounds them with finding family, new beginnings, self trust, being strong and taking a leap of faith.

The main character Emma is going through a tough time for half of the book and in the second half, finds herself and her strength again. It is a different book from part to part and the two flow seamlessly. Killian is a very strong man, who never fails to do the right thing for everyone around him. The two and their stories match and I found I had a hard book to put down on my hands.
Do yourself a favour and make this your next read!

My thanks to Jessica Redland, Boldwood Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy. My opinions are my own.
