I’m not a big fan of second chance because it often feels like too much or not enough when they reconnect, but I really liked this one. The emotions and fears were well described and realistic. 
There wasn’t too much drama, normal human interactions, besides the epilogue which I didn’t like (but I understand it helps prepare the next book). 
I loved the dog and the family bond, but I didn’t connect emotionally to the MCs, although I did understand their doubts and personality. 
A nice, well written story!
