Bree is a bit of a spitfire who likes things to be done a certain way, she has rules and expectations. Eason loves to flout the rules and get under her skin, he brings the fun into the house, pushing as many boundaries as he can get away with. And over the next year and oh so slowly they begin to develop feelings for each other. It’s a slow burn that takes seed, initially out of grief and friendship but developing into so much more. Overall, this book is Aly Martinez’ signature brand of awesome and I loved every second of it. Definitely my favorite book of 2021 by far! Very few authors get to me like she does, and I just can’t wait to read what she’ll come up with next! No sólo tienen que lidear con la tragedia, sino con más descubrimientos que no sabían de sus parejas. When he finally released me, I didn’t feel better. Having company in hell didn’t change the fact that you were still actually in hell. Bree and Eason (not Easton, lol) are both pretty incredible. I loved them from the get go. They’re married to each other’s best friends, although their relationship was never the best. When tragedy strikes and they loose their spouses, they only have each other to go on and so they form a united front for the kids even though they’re totally devastated and grieving. They form the best of friendships and that eventually turns into love. However, since this is an Aly Martinez book, nothing is really what it seems and there are secrets that are uncovered and twists and turns I didn’t see coming, even though I always like to think I have all figured out.

En revanche les relations sont tendues entre Bree et Eason car selon elle il n'est pas l'homme dont sa meilleure amie a besoin. The author portrayed the heroine - Bree in such a way, that to me she was not likeable at all. However, I was very curious of how the author would bring the heroine around and redeem her before my eyes! (note: until the end of the story I couldn’t be warmed to her, regardless of how nice she turned out to be...😔) Eason was a fantastic figure, wonderful, goodhearted and so devoted!! I was thrilled his dreams came true and succeeded in the music industry!

I love the hero in this story. Eason stole my breath. His pain and guilt are tangible emotions that carry through from the book to my heart. The journey from start to finish is incredible.

He is always there to restore Eason’s confidence. Coincidentally, Rob is married to Jessica’s best friend Bree. While the two couples are having an adult game night, at the Maxwell’s house there is an explosion.

I remembered the panic and confusion. The anger and resentment. The absolute frustration that the world kept spinning and it was all I could do to hold on."I’d spent so many years trying to build the perfect life with the perfect husband, the perfect kids, and the perfect company. But mastering the perception of perfect isn’t the same as finding genuine happiness.’ It’s important to mention that as Bree and Eason finally find themselves starting to heal from the fire and Rob and Jessica’s deaths. *SPOILER INCOMING* They find proof that Rob and Jessica were months deep into a very illicit, sexual affair. Eason lashes out, both are thwarted into feelings of anger following months of grief and sadness. Both Jessica and Rob were NOT who thought they were. ( Well I mean, I expected this from Jessica but I digress ) and Eason now faces the possibility that Luna is not his biological child, but rather Jessica and Rob’s love child.
