Loved it! Kennedy Ryan always manages to catch my attention especially when she writes about real world problems. I loved how she handled the boy’s autism, and while I hope to never have to navigate divorce or prison, those were handled beautifully too. Soledad has to pull her life together because of someone else’s actions. Her girls were hit with changes that would make any of us want to crawl into our beds and cover our heads. Soledad took charge of her life, and I loved that she was focused on herself and the girls. I also loved when she decided that regardless of the optics she was gonna allow herself to have love too.
When she tells Hendrix & Yasmin about Judah in his spectacles… I burst out laughing. I loved that Aaron reached out to Soladad the first time they meet. I loved that Judah was focused on his boys, but he wanted passion and love too. The families coming together at the end was heartwarming in the best way.
“Your skin is summer night and your kiss is all I want.” I loved that Soladad’s mother’s words resonated so deeply. Don’t we all just want someone to love and kiss.
