“Messy is good, love. Messy is where the best parts of life happen. You don’t have to be in control at all times. It’s okay if you fall apart. I promise I will be right here to put you back together if you just let me.”
Allie is an exceptionally talented ballerina. Her sisters are also dancers, and they all exist under the critical eye of their mother, who never achieved her own ballet dreams. She expects nothing but perfection at every second, and will tolerate no distractions from the achievement of the goals she has set for her daughters.
When Allie is injured during a performance, she goes to her family’s summer house to recover. The last thing she expects is to see Hudson again. Hudson, her best friend growing up, and her one true love. The one person she always hoped to see yet cannot bear to, even years later.
Hudson, a rescue swimmer for the Coast Guard, has one regret in life: that he left for basic training without saying goodbye to Allie. He has loved her since he was 17, and her absence from his life has haunted him ever since. When his niece Juniper asks for his help finding her biological parents, he enters Allie’s orbit again. Can they pick up where they left off years ago? And could that survive the secrets that both have kept hidden?
I’m a huge fan of Rebecca Yarros’ storytelling. There’s so much to love about this book—secrets, lies, family dysfunction, rivalry, drama, and some serious steam. I was hooked from the very first page, and while Juniper was very manipulative, I still enjoyed this book immensely.
