Lisa J Page Loved this story of best friends Sebastian and Marine. Not only is her best friend but he is her hero of sorts even though being the hero might mean a change for the both. Great book, Jenni, really love the Connor Family books as everyone gets involved in the story not just the main leads. Another 5 star read. TheLiterary Mug Riding off the back of the previous stand alone, brings the story of Sebastian and Marnie. Sebastian has always been Marnie's go-to guy, and Marnie's been Sebastian's long-standing crush but their love story is no joke, with a foundation of unbreakable friendship and a secrets that are just plain heartbreaking with a love born from a chaos. I felt like will these two find happiness or will the secrets they keep rip them apart at the seams? Highlighting small town charm, Friends-to-lovers, deep losses, and mental health themes. The Connor family series although standalone are all extensions of themselves and worth the reading journey.
