What a powerful story. I loved Celia and Cain. My heart ached for both of them. I really appreciate the detail JA used when describing mental illness. Having to deal with it with someone I love more than my next breath made me really thankful that she showed what a monster it is. There is such a stigma to it without people understanding it. It's not something that can be flipped of like a light switch. No one wishes they had it.
Great book. Now I need to go backwards and start at the beginning of this series.… (mais)

Magic
This is one of those moments that I as a reader live for. Finding a book and having it touch a part of my soul. I wasn't expecting that. It was magic. I fell in love with beautiful characters and became immersed in their world.
Not sure how I found this book but I'm ever grateful that I did. I am praying that there is another books in the works because there are two characters that were FIRE.

Everyone who has ever been tasked with the job of being a mother has had their moments of failure. Things will inevitably go wrong at some point when you have children, resulting in a momfail. However, looking back you realize that everything happens for a reason and you did the best that you could at the time. No mom is perfect, and these 24 moms have come to remind you in some hilarious ways that we have all had our momfail moments, so let's enjoy them together!
These moms share fails from everyday to epic. From story to story, I went from knowing the exact feeling because I've been there to laughing my butt off simply because I'm not there yet. These 24 short stories will resonate with any mom, caregiver and will prepare any mom-to-be for the inevitable foibles in motherhood. Some of my favorites dealt with pooptastrophies, swearing children, trying to have intimate time with your husband and the days that are just plain disastrous. Two stories that I will highlight are "What's That Smell?" and "Battery Operated." These had me dying of laughter. "What's That Smell" tackles not only the hazards of flying with children but what happens when they poop in an enclosed space, I couldn't imagine having to live this situation and coming out unphased. "Battery Operated" is the life lesson of revenge for gifting annoying toys and will probably be something heading my way at some point in the future. Overall, a perfect anthology for any mom, especially if you think you aren't doing enough or constantly failing, we feel you, just read a story and drink some mommy juice.

Second chance romance.
The prologue sets the scene for why they break up.
Chapter 1 starts in the present, dual POV, flashback chapters to various events from childhood memories to events after the prologue.
Second chance romance can be really good or really not work, the circumstances here are dramatic and outside interference dictates their situation as they are quite young. There are also misunderstandings.
No ex drama, other love interests.
Separation. During that time there is a small hint the Hero may have seen another woman, no other love interest for the heroine.
It's quite a touching read but also quite funny in parts too.
No cheating.
The Hero is devoted to the heroine, he just wasn't sure he'd get a second chance and then when they reconnect there are extra complications.
HEA.
