"I missed Delilah always, even when I was with her. It was the strangest feeling I couldn't put into words. I imagined it was how astronauts felt, surrounded by everything--limitless infinity and beauty--unable to touch the universe. Delilah was all the stars in the galaxy, so big and bright I could never quite hold all of her. Couldn't fill my lungs all the way when she was near."

KELLY SISKIND IS A QUEEN. This. Book. Is. EVERYTHING. I loved it to bits. I can't even wrap my mind around how much I loved it.

E's world is flipped upside down when his family gets uprooted out of the small town of Windfall and placed into witness protection due to a money laundering scheme his father was heavily involved in. 10 years later, the Bower family is free from witness protection, and all E has ever thought of was returning to his first love/best friend, Delilah Moon. He's determined to win back her trust and affections after disappearing from her life without a trace.

E. Oh, E. I loved him endlessly. Such a softie with a big heart. E was such a fantastic character and I loved delving into his thoughts throughout the entire book. He lost so much of his life while in witness protection, so reading him come back to all the people that filled his younger years while attempting to patch up old issues was such a whirlwind of emotion.

E and Delilah are magic. I'm a sucker for friends to lovers, so reading memories from their you earlier years struck me HARD, making their current situation all the more powerful and heartbreaking. I was rooting for E to win Delilah over from the very first page. :')

If you're into second-chance romances full of heart and small-town characters that will have you laughing and crying from beginning to end, READ THIS BOOK. I can't wait to read this again. ✨

Thank you to Kelly Siskind, NetGalley, and Montlake for the ARC.
