synopsis

Maggie and Sali Miller share an enviable love story. The hardships and heartaches they’ve suffered in their years together wove them into an impermeable bond. When Maggie receives devastating news, she’s thrust back into the consequences of the life she lived during her time in the U.S. Army. Two tours, several injuries, and many losses later, Maggie struggles to invite her wife into her private pain. Together, the women navigate a different season of their lives, holding on to the hope of their survival.

  • Fuck I love these books 
  • I feel like I took longer to read this bc I didn’t want it to end (+ I’m sick rn & it’s just harder to read while I’m sick)
  • Sali & Maggie are just everything ‐ literal top tier couple I could go on forever about how much I love them I see so much of myself in both of them and I just love the way they see and get each other & talk about / get through the the hard stuff together ‐ the “I’ll marry you everyday” shit gets me every time it’s so sweet 
  • I loved all the moments where Sali (the author?? whatever) kinda broke the 4th wall & indirectly just judged the fuck out of us as reader lol I found it funny + now I know never to bother this author about what she’s writing next bc I will not be a “fangirl” if she hates them (even though I really want to be lol)
  • Pretty much everybody from the previous books were name-dropped or featured in this & I loovveeddd getting little updates on them ‐ especially loved the moments w/ Caroline/Nora & Anita/Marita 
  • Sali and Maggie were the best aunties to Harper’s babies and Olivia is grown now :,( ‐ they were so cute & I loved how they’re like another set of twins in every way
  • The ending tho?? I’m hoping there’s an update in the future books ‐ I also loved it tho bc they’re on another little mission & it shows the cycle of their life now it felt like a good open full circle ending for Maggie & Sali ‐ that being said I could still read like a million books about them doing the same shit over and over again lol
  • I liked that we got to learn so much more about Maggie and her past in this ‐ all their other books have a much bigger focus on Sali & I liked that this focused a bit more on Maggie I always wondered about her army days and her past in general
  • Will read this a million times over I’m already excited to read it again + I somehow forgot like sm of the book even though I finished it like an hour ago 
  • all their interactions w/ their friends and families (like 50% of the book lol)
  • Reconciling their relationships w/ their exes (surprisingly bc I usually don’t fw that)
  • Wedding scene
  • Investigating together
