I don’t even know how to put this one into words beyond I loved it. I have been obsessed with every one of Catherine’s books, and I truly don’t know what she puts in them because I’m addicted. I devoured Cope & Sutton’s story. I loved getting to learn more about Cope. To learn about the pain he’s hidden from the world for so long, convincing himself that’s the only thing he deserves to feel. That pain was palpable. Sutton helps him see he deserves more; helps him feel more. And can we talk about the way Cope shows up for Sutton and her little boy?! I mean the way Sutton cares for Luca and works to give him the world is already awe-inspiring with what she’s been through. Then Cope steps in and supports her; he works to show her how incredible she is. The way he connected with Luca? Swoon. I absolutely love Cope & Sutton as a team and the way they’ve created such a safe space; the way they both allow themselves to be vulnerable and fall for each other. It wouldn’t be a Sparrow Falls book without Lolli showing up–she is such a breath of fresh air amidst all the twists and serial unalivers running around. The whole Colson fam really shows up for each other, and the group scenes and texts are some of my favorites! This one brought all the feels–it had me wanting to fight so many side characters and had me full on ugly sobbing (it hurt, y’all), but it also had me feeling so giddy and swooning over Cope & Sutton’s love while being on the edge of my seat for the next twist. I absolutely loved Cope, Sutton, and Luca with my whole heart, and this one was absolutely perfect.
