Review:
Stars: 5
I haven't had a book capture my heart this quickly in a long time. Everyone has challenges throughout life. Suzanne teaches us that it is how you juggle your life that matters.
This book showed many beautiful attributes of love. Matt is a diamond in this rough world. I wish everyone would be able to find a Matt in their lifetime.
This book will break your heart while restoring your belief in love. It has love as a spouse and love as a parent and hot to entangle them. So beautiful!!!
