Ash and Nathaniel couldn't have been more opposite when it comes to their backgrounds, personalities, you name it. 

Ash was a black cat 🐈‍⬛ death doula, who was moody, could cry with the best of them but didn't show her emotions easily. She didn't want her emotions to be used against her. She already had one failed relationship and the words that were spoken stuck to her like smoke on a chimney over the years. Even though they were lied and were just to gaslight her to appease his guilt. I felt such a strong connection to Ash, and I felt all her emotions as I read through this book. Being a death doula, is an honorable profession. Walking the path with someone in their final days is a hard walk to be on, much less to be able to do it repeatedly. I loved Ash all the way to my bones 🩻 and I couldn't get her out of my mind once I finished this book. So many of her emotions and how she processes them, are how I have processed them for so long. It's hard to break the cycle when that is all you have known for so long. 

I absolutely loved who she became when she and Nathaniel were together. Their snarkiness between each other was top notch. I laughed as they had their banter, and even at times when they had mishaps or when she would slightly trip and he would catch her. It wasn't all morbid all the time. 

Nathaniel carried so much weight around with him about who he was supposed to be according to someone else's standards. Not only that but also his failed relationship with his ex fiance. He blamed majority of it on Ash but he knew deep down she wasn't the one to blame. He saw so much more in Ash than he ever thought he would. He became that Golden retriever 🐕‍🦺 energy for her, especially when she needed it the most. Being a doctor you are always taking care of other people so it is second nature to make sure that you are taking care of those you are required to, but not those you don't like. I loved how much he came to love Ash when he didn't even realize how much he came to care for her.

I absolutely loved the Type 1 Diabetes Rep in this book! I am Type 2, but there isn't enough rep for diabetes in books. I appreciate how much research it takes if you aren't around someone who has diabetes.
