This book is easily a 5 ⭐️ for me.

This may be one of the first books that actually had me crying while reading. I should not have been reading this on a airplane because the poor guy next to me most likely thought I was going through something (which I guess he wasn’t wrong about…)

I got so emotionally invested in these characters. I loved our main characters but also how fleshed their relationships were to the side characters was just ✨ perfection ✨ Mercy’s family dynamic was amazing and so was Harts found family.

The only thing I would change was the miscommunication trope being the conflict in Act III. That was the only thing that felt really predictable and isn’t my favorite thing in romance books in general. However, the fact that this book had me in literally tears through the last Act more than makes up for it.
