Loved this more than Grip (the first book) and it’s the first time I’ve ever found the second book in a duet to be better than the first.

While the first book was about them finally getting together (that’s an oversimplification- the book tackles a lot of issues about racial inequality) the second was about the journey that they have ahead of them. What happens after the “ever after��.

It was emotionally exhausting but worth it.

I don't even know what to say or how to say it in order to explain that I really, truly loved this and that it's a book that should be read.

I loved how this explored the idea that a relationship is always a work in progress but especially in this situation where the world is against it. Being in the public eye, comes with consequences and those take the form of unwanted opinions.

I loved how both Bristol and Grip never wavered in their commitment and love no matter how hard it used to get. They always talked it out and made it clear that in order for their relationship to work, they always have to trust each other.

This was so real. All their struggles, their arguments, insecurities, loses.. all of those shaped their relationship over time and it made it indestructible.

It was such a difficult journey but a beautiful one nonetheless, and that's maybe because nothing was glossed over. I loved every minute of this book.

It made me think, question, debate, understand but most importantly, it made me feel so many things.

This is a romance book, sure, but it did so much more than tell us the love story of two people. Much, much more.
