Emmett and Adaline have known each other for years, but it
takes a catastrophic incident with Emmett’s friend and teammate to make him
realize what he wants. Five years before, Adaline had confessed her feelings to
Emmett, but the timing was all wrong. But now? Emmett realizes what he’s been
missing out on, and he’s got all his focus on winning Adaline over. This is a
second-chance/friends-to-lovers romance, and we get to see how they navigate
their present circumstance to become hopefully something more.
These main characters are simply made for one another!
Emmett is sweet and so swoonworthy, and I loved seeing how steadfast he is in
his desire for Adaline. And she’s completely relatable and likable, and I empathized
with how she dealt with everything being thrown at her in life. It’s not just
her thing with Emmett either. She’s got other outside factors in her life to
consider, and I appreciated her dedication to her family. I think what makes
these two so good together is that they truly seem to understand one another,
and there’s a sense of maturity to how they take it all on that made them such
an endearing pair.
Also, I enjoyed how heartbreakingly beautiful Emmett and
Adaline’s story was. There’s so much push and pull, and the idea that sometimes
timing can be such a pest is prominent. I love that this book isn’t necessarily
easy in the sense that there’s a lot that gets in the way of their being
together, but even more I love that it’s not some silly, dramatic somethings
keeping them apart. You’ll understand what I’m trying to say when you read it,
but I like the complexity of this romance.
If you’re in the mood for a solid romance that will pull at
your heartstrings, then this book is it! I smiled plenty, cried a bit, and
audibly swooned throughout this book, and I think you just might too.
