Bare was such a good read! The beginning was a tad slow for me, but that only lasted about two seconds because once the story found its rhythm, it just kept getting better and better.
The MMC was everything you could want—supportive, protective, and full of unconditional love even when it took him a second to get it together . Watching him stand by the FMC through everything she had endured made my heart melt. She’s an accountant who’s been through absolute hell, surviving cancer not once, not twice, but three times, making her resilience one of my favorite parts of the story.
