Written review

     This is exactly what I look for in romance. I want a romance in a book to have meaning. I want the characters to have a reason for meaning the 'right person at the right time.' I felt this book did a perfect job at the romance that I am looking for. Both the character needs the other in their time of loss and grief, but they both feel like they shouldn't for some reason or another.

     I fell in love with Marley as a character. We get to meet her and see her at a super low point in her life. She starts to come out of her shell, she starts to come to terms with her grief. I feel like I am able to really relate to her character to some extent. Even after the twist in the end, I find myself loving her character even more.

     I have read this book a few times and I have to say it is still as good as I remember. I have recommended this book to every friend that likes romance books. This book will always hold a special place in my heart.
