What a beautifully slowly building love story!

Emotional high alert! From hating to friendship, from friendship to the one and only kind of love. Many circumstances and emotions forced Astor and Keagan together. The greatest is grief. The question troughout the book is, can that turn into something real or will it always be a forced feeling.

And the author answered it such a beautiful way. A really, despite everything, sweet and wonderful story. Two characters, both with sad and depressing pasts. Who were by those turned into the people they are today.

Men-disliking, careerorientated and independent Keagan. Working in a men dominated industry. Always one to say what she thinks and sometimes what she feels too.

Astor, who doesn’t show his true self. To anyone. But does so much that counts more than words.

Two opposites who were forced together by a little miracle. We slowly discover each of their stories, get to know them and read as they they do this as well.

I cried a lot, like full on. I also laughed hard sometimes. And well in the end liked when there would have been more pages.

A sensitve on point written lovestory you won’t be able to forget that easy.
