***5 ‘Twice the Awesome’ Stars***
Hello ugly crying (Seriously. Stupid water falling from my eyes happened. There was NO stopping them no matter how hard I tried)
Hello emotional minefield!
I’m not kidding. I can’t even call it a rollercoaster because at least with a rollercoaster you see what’s coming up, but here? Well. Some things you see and others just hit you over the head with a 2x4, put you in a daze and have you stuttering “But...but…that…” but despite the emotional turmoil I kept turning the pages because the need to know that Beckett and Ella got their HEA was strong and I wasn’t disappointed, still a little sniffly but not disappointed, when everything was said and done.
Beckett and Ella put me, and themselves, through the ringer, but even when I wanted to reach out and shake some sense into them, I still loved them. Both have had it rough and they’ve both faced huge losses, and yet they still find a way to keep moving forward with their lives. They may only be surviving instead of truly living, but they do it. Their hearts may be bruised and battered, but they are still golden. As for their journey to their HEA. It’s a rough one, but the soul deep connection is there and I loved where they found themselves in the end.
I knew going in that this one was going to be heavy, but even I didn’t expect all of that. Thankfully the sweet and funny moments balanced everything out. And as for the rest of the characters that gave this story so much heart, I really did love them all, so no favorites - just a group of well written characters that I wouldn’t mind having in my own circle.
So, if you’re looking for that book that is going to yank at those heartstrings then this one is for you! Just make sure you have a box of tissues handy cause you are going to need them.

Beckett,
If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have.
I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride.
My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. It’s not fair.
And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart. She’s going to need help.
So if I’m gone, that means I can’t be there for Ella. I can’t help them through this. But you can. So I’m begging you, as my best friend, go take care of my sister, my family.
Please don’t make her go through it alone.
Ryan

When she’s not writing, she’s tying hockey skates for her four sons, sneaking in some guitar time, or watching brat-pack movies with her two daughters. She lives in Colorado with the hottest Apache pilot ever, their rambunctious gaggle of kids, an English bulldog who is more stubborn than sweet, and a bunny named General Fluffy Pants who torments the aforementioned bulldog. They recently adopted their youngest daughter from the foster system, and Rebecca is passionate about helping others do the same.
