This story moved me, and im not used to rate romance 5 stars, but i just loved the characters so much, Esme/Mý is such an icon, resilient and kind, baby girl cutie who deserves the world.. And Khai ofc too, he was a breath of fresh air and felt so real and developped as a character. From the main romance to the side characters, this book had so much heart, i felt it deep, even the author's note got tears welling up into my eyes (not sad tears) when she mentioned her own mother and experience..
It packed a solid punch into a 296 pages book, for all these reasons that's a 5^^
