All the feels…

I absolutely loved Ellis and Lucky’s story. They were just perfect for each other even if it took them a while to get it together and realize it could be something special. Even before their romantic connection, they were always connected on a whole other level from the very beginning as kids.

Ellis is a hot, gentle, lumberjack of a man with a completely selfless heart of gold. He’s neurodivergent with selective mutism, so he’s not always the best a communicating with those around him. But from the moment he meets Lucky as a boy when he moves into the house next door, communication is never a problem for them, even if it’s mostly in a nontraditional sort of way. They connect with or without words in a way that is truly special.

Lucky is super fun and outgoing with a deep desire to travel and explore instead of being stuck in a small town surrounded by fields of corn. He’s pretty much the exact opposite of Ellis but it doesn’t matter.

They have feelings for each other from the time they are teens even if they never really knew how to express it or even acknowledge it at times. Ellis loves Lucky enough to know that he can’t be the reason Lucky is held back from the happy, adventurous life he deserves, so he lets him go.

Throughout the years they stay in constant contact sharing their lives. But it all catches up to them eventually and they start to realize the future they could have together. And it’s a beautiful thing.

This book got me all up in my feelings for these two. I loved them together from the very beginning. Their journey was so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. You can’t help but to root for them to see what you see for them. Such a great book!
