Wow... This book had me in my feels. I was crying through a good portion of it. The grief and immense sadness could be felt. It left me with an ache in my heart for Owen, Everest and Ivy.

Owen and Everest were such a good pairing. So different from each other but softening the edges to each other. Owen wins the award for the bossiest bottom, and I was so here for it. While this was a love story between Owen and Everest, it was also a love letter to family and finding your people. Ivy was absolutely adorable and I felt for her. Being so tiny and having big emotions is hard to deal with and I felt like Linden wrote Ivy's story very well. Overall, this was a really good addition to the Mar's Fitness series. It's probably my favorite so far and I loved Sawyer and Preston in Stacked.
