I don't understand all the 5 star reviews. The vastness of feels were all expertly performed by two well-loved narrators who brought the characters and their emotions to life making this a very touching and enjoyable story. leaving hopes, plans and dreams for a happy future together filled with love. And it ends with forever love when the life-threatening drama of the who, what and why was blissfully over. Forgiving love three years later when the emotional walls between them had been scaled, the regrets and apologies given and the secret had finally been spoken. Sacrificial love as one walked away from the other. and the promises and hopes that bloomed were beautiful. Best-friends love who looked out for each other, shared everything and were never apart. Innocent, happy, caring love between two small children who just clicked the moment they met not knowing they'd each found the missing piece of themselves. Worth a credit? For me, definitely yes - its third person past and dual PoV present chapters were odes to love.

and the passion and pain was breathed from everyone’s lips. the hope blazed bright from every paragraph. The heart-and-soul connection and magnetic chemistry between these two lovers could be felt from every chapter. striking again and again - then waiting in the shadows to strike their final blow. But in this love story she coupled it with a life-threatening disease, a disability, a secret, a sweet little boy and a suspenseful chilling threat that loomed and hovered. and nobody (IMO) writes heartache, chemistry and the emotionally deep bottomless feelings of soul-sharing love like ALJ. It’s a beautiful, sweet, touching and emotionally raw love story. it tells of heartache, hope, forgiveness, redemption, possibilities and love between two soul-mates who’d lost their way for a while because of a selfless act. God this book! This book rips your heart out with its damaged tortured feels. ALL THE STARS, ALL THE FEELS & ALL THE LOVE
