Wildflower #5
Again At Home
After becoming unexpectedly pregnant, Ellie Summers makes a surprise move back to her small-town roots and into the childhood home of the only man she’s ever loved, Sully London.
SULLIVAN LONDON has loved the same girl since she moved in across the street fourteen years ago, even after she broke his heart junior year of college. He hasn’t seen her since, not until a chance run-in ends with them in bed together, promising each other that it’s just one night—one more night for old time’s sake.
ELEANOR SUMMERS admits she probably shouldn’t have slept with her ex-boyfriend, especially considering his obvious unforgiving bitterness toward her. But despite spending the last four years trying to do everything to establish a new life away from small-town Minnesota and move on from him, nothing and no one has ever made Ellie feel like he does.
Now, Ellie’s pregnant. Due to a past medical incident that still haunts her, she finds the idea of navigating a high risk pregnancy overwhelming—at best. Regardless, her next step feels nonnegotiable: she needs to go back. Back to Sully, back to her roots, back to the only place she can imagine raising a child. His child. Luckily, there’s a vacant house immediately available for move-in. There’s just one catch: it’s her ex-boyfriend’s childhood home, filled with memories and lost hope.
Ellie has little faith that things between her and Sully can ever be repaired, but for the sake of their child, she has to try. Just when it begins to feel possible, though, they’re faced with a devastating loss. And now she’s left wondering if they’ll be able to rebuild enough to make it through the unexpected together.

╰┈➤ 4 stars!
an absolute masterpiece. amelie, you’ve done it again. tears were definitely shed, and what an emotional ride this book turned out to be. i genuinely felt like i experienced every emotion possible while reading it, and even after turning the last page, i know this story will stay with me for a very long time.
୨ৎ ellie. what a remarkable woman. i will defend her until the end of time because if i ever see ellie hate, y’all will be hearing from me. the amount of pain and hardship she endured throughout this book was heartbreaking, and all i wanted to do was reach into the pages, hug her, and remind her that she is incredibly brave, resilient, and stronger than she gives herself credit for. she made the decisions she believed were right with the information and emotions she had at the time, and i think that deserves so much grace. what made me admire her even more was her ability to reflect on those choices instead of pretending they never happened. watching her acknowledge her mistakes, process her grief, and slowly grow into a stronger version of herself was one of the most beautiful parts of the story.
୨ৎ sully. calling him understanding and loving honestly feels like the understatement of the century. he was such a constant source of comfort throughout ellie’s journey, even while carrying his own pain. i loved that this book didn't portray him as someone who simply stood by and watched—it acknowledged that pregnancy loss deeply affected him too. so often, stories focus solely on the mother's grief, which is completely understandable, but this one also gave space to the father's heartbreak. it reminded us that loss doesn't belong to just one person, it belongs to both parents, and they both deserve the chance to grieve. seeing ellie and sully lean on each other instead of pretending to be okay made their relationship feel even more genuine and heartfelt.
one of the things i appreciated most about this book was how much awareness it brought to pregnancy loss. we so often hear about the excitement and joy that come with pregnancy, but we rarely talk about the devastating reality that not every journey has a happy ending. this story handled such a sensitive topic with so much care, compassion, and honesty. it never felt like the pain was there for shock value, it was written to give a voice to experiences that so many people quietly carry.
there was so much heartbreak woven throughout this book. despite everything life threw at them, ellie and sully continued to choose each other. they weren't perfect, and they certainly didn't have all the answers, but they never stopped caring. knowing they had each other's support, even during the darkest moments, made every emotional scene hit even harder.
i also really loved the message that sometimes life doesn't go the way we planned, and that's okay. some people might look at ellie and sully's story and think that the years they spent apart meant they lost precious time together—and in some ways, that's true. but i don't think their story was about lost time. i think it was about finding the courage to begin again. sometimes, life gives us the chance to start over, to heal, and to choose each other all over again. and honestly, that's such a beautiful reminder that a fresh start isn't a failure.

Review of advance copy
⌗ ──🍋🟩🐈⬛ᝰ .ᐟ read.
3.5 stars. Please check trigger warnings before read!
This was an emotional roller coaster. I found myself crying and laughing at times and I also felt wrecked and broken.
Oh, gods, Amelie, what did you do to me?
I can't even begin to explain how much I enjoyed this book. The pain, the loss, the grief, the love, the support, the found family and the honesty were on top. I loved how Amelie described everything in this book, how she threaded every topic with sensitivity and awareness, how she captured and portrayed pregnancy loss and its reality. It was so hard to read, and I found myself crying at work too, lol, but I loved it.
I loved Ellie so much, she's such a strong and brave woman, and an amazing character. I just wanted to hug her and tell her that things would be okay. She's so resilient, smart and brave. Y'all don't know how much I love her.
I kind of disliked Sully at first, but I kind of grew fond of him. I loved how he kept choosing Ellie over and over and over despite everything, how he showed his love to her and how he stood by her side the entire time.
The prologue made me cry like a baby and I was thankful that nobody was paying attention to me at work, lmao.

Again At Home🥀🏡🖌️💍🔑🌌🌿🍒
Thank you beyond words LoveNotes PR and Amelie for the e-arc of Again At Home, out now! Thank you for your patience in me getting this review out there💛
TW: Before continuing, please note this review + book will discuss women's health, medical gaslighting, medical trauma, pregnancy symptoms, health anxiety, high risk pregnancy, pregnancy loss, grief, and hoarding. Please be sure to put your mental health first, take care of yourself. Love you <3
Amelie's writing continues to be some of my favorite ever. She displays beautiful characters and the hardships they go through, and it truly is so inspiring to see.
My favorite trope? Second Chance. Because I LOVE the work they put in to fight for each other again. The fight they once lost because of whatever circumstances. Eleanor and Sullivan definitely went through hell and back and being apart from each other for years but trying to keep track of one another through little things has to be one of my favorite things ever. This was absolutely a heavy, emotional ride and it's a ride I don't regret getting on.
I believe these types of stories are so incredibly important because it shines a light on topics and women's health in a way not many are aware of with how much our world tries to hide women's health. Amelie took so many difficult topics and created a story filled with pain, growth, happiness, and small moments that were important to keep going through the storm.
Medical gaslighting in women is heavy in our society. Women have always been deemed as "lesser" even when our bodies are constantly going through change and screaming at us that it needs help and someone who doesn't believe women get to be in charge of WOMEN? Insanity. But I found it so beautiful that Amelie wrote it in this book because you know your own body, don't ever allow someone to tell you differently. You aren't crazy. You aren't demanding. You aren't dramatic. You feel pain or you think something is wrong and you want to get it checked? Do so. Pregnancy isn't easy, but it has been made to feel that way when all people ever talk about is the "joys of pregnancy," but never the real-life shit that also happens alongside it.
Amelie handled the medical manipulation and the pregnancy loss Ellie and Sully's experience in a careful manner. The quiet moments they had. The loud angry feelings. The soft touches and trying to heal. No two pregnancies will be the same and that's the beauty and the anger of it. I truly think if more people are open to reading representation like this, Again At Home takes the cake.
Ellie and Sully have my heart and soul. Their love was incredibly heartwarming just as it was painful. I cried a lot. And I also smiled a lot. Because while it is hard to feel hope, when you read about two people who will always put the other first and who will always advocate for one another, hope is all you can feel because you know they'll be okay no matter what. Their book was one I was incredibly excited for since we got our first hint about them in the Wildflower Series, I knew their second chance would hook, line, and sinker my heart and it did. THEIR DEVOTION TO EACH OTHER !!!!! THEIR LEGO BUILDING QUIET TIMES !!!!!! PAINTING THE HOUSE TOGETHER AND THE SPRINKLERS SCENE BROKE ME !!!!! KEEPING TABS ON EACH OTHER !!!!! LOOKING FOR ONE ANOTHER ACROSS A ROOM !!!!!! Guys I love them so damn much I truly don't think I can ever convey the perfection that this book is.
Amelie, your gift in writing truly is a gift that keeps on giving and I am so beyond grateful I get to read your books. I will keep screaming about them to everyone because they deserve to be out there. I am so proud of you and can not wait to keep reading all you have coming in the future. Every single book in the Wildflower Series has changed me in some way and I love it.

5🌟, 3🌶️
This book completely wrecked me in the best way.
I laughed, cried, and felt every emotion alongside Ellie and Sully. Their second chance love story is filled with heartbreak, hope, and healing, and I was completely invested from the very first page.
Ellie completely stole my heart. Watching her navigate so much grief while slowly finding her way forward was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Sully won me over with the way he loved her so fiercely and never stopped showing up for her. I also appreciated how thoughtfully the story explored pregnancy loss, giving space to both Ellie and Sully’s grief with so much compassion and honesty.
More than anything, this is a story about love, healing, and finding your way back to each other. The found family, emotional depth, and unforgettable connection between Ellie and Sully made this impossible to put down.
I know this story will stay with me for a long time.

Absolute perfection.
This book was a rollercoaster of emotions, as I knew it would be. The way it starts out so hot and slowly morphs into characters being happy (and scared) about this thing that you can only share the happiness about but at the same time, it’s like standing on a cliff waiting to be pushed off, because you know what’s coming, you know it’s going to hurt so bad and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
The author wrote Ellie’s story so incredibly delicate, with so much care, in-depth (and informative), and just beautifully painful. I just want to give her a hug, because she has gone through so much, some of it completely alone, and having your body betray you like that, is such a helpless feeling. Her story and her pain was so raw and it hurt to read, it was so well written that even though it might never be possible to fully comprehend and feel the pain, anxiety, fear, and self doubt that she felt (unless you’ve been through something similar), it was impossible to not feel a whole lot of it deep in your bones. I think these kinds of topics are often not talked about (enough), because some people might find that it shouldn’t be talked about (which I wholeheartedly disagree with) and for a lot of people it is just incredibly painful to talk about, but it is so important. It is so important that everybody going through it, knows they are not alone, that it is not their fault, that they didn’t fail, that they aren’t selfish for making certain choices, and that they get the support they need. It is important that topics surrounding women’s health and reproduction aren’t ignored, swept under the rug, or minimalised, so thank you to Amelie Rhys for sharing this story with us, because it is so important.
Ellie is so incredibly strong, even if/when her mind tries to convince her otherwise - and other negative, completely false thoughts about who she is and what she deserves - and I just want to give her a hug. She is brave and she is strong and she deserves to have confidence in her body. And nobody can fault her for the choices she made because she thought she was doing the right thing even though it is not what would make her the happiest (or Sully for that matter). My heart broke for them both so much, both in the flashbacks and obviously in the present… the way the things played out, the things that were said, the assumptions that were made.
And let’s not forget that this was traumatising for Sully too and - just like everything else, because this book is an absolute masterpiece - that too was written so incredibly well. The helplessness of not being able to do anything whilst having to see the person you love most in the world hurting so badly (in both timelines). I think it was beautiful how Sully clearly grew, learned, and was a lot more mature in the present. Like, yes he tried to be there as much as possible and researched etc 7 years ago, but he was also barely an adult and it makes sense that he wasn’t able to know and be everything he wanted to be and what Ellie needed (especially because he didn’t know everything). The fact that he recognised that himself and learned from that shows how much he’s grown and how much he cares about Ellie. I swear, this man is just the biggest green flag ever (you’ll see what I’m saying, like green flag capital G).
There is so much heartbreak and pain in this story but the way Ellie and Sully come together during this tragedy is so incredibly beautiful. They supported each other and - with a little Annie nudge - put back together what was broken and needed a new start. They are each other’s sunshine (yellow people, yellow) and I just can’t… I just love them so much. The flashbacks were one of my favourite things about this book - as they always are in Amelie’s books. Sellie is so incredibly cute together, like they are SOULMATES. The way Sully saw Ellie and immediately knew that no one else mattered (I’ll say it once again, Amelie Rhys is the QUEEN of ‘it’s always been you’). He met her first!!! Also the way that she has always seen him and let him be exactly who he is. And the present too, they are so perfect together and the little ways they kept telling each other ‘I (still) love you’ without actually saying it…gaahhhhhh OBSESSED!! I just cannot stop saying how much I love them, how cute they are together, how PERFECT they are together, like they’re basically the same person and it works so well for them. There are so many moments that you’re gonna absolutely swoon about and ugh I’m just so excited for everyone to read about them.
Omg and I have a new fave microtrope —> SHE CUTS HIS HAIR!!! It gives the same vibes as an mmc washing the fmcs hair and I’m totally here for it!!
Oh and I have to mention the relationship between Ellie and the other Londons, because I’m so obsessed with it. The way they took her in and she found what she desperately needed with them… ugh I’m gonna tear up thinking about it. Theo being the best big brother, the same goes for Blake, for both Ellie and Sully btw. And her friendship with Natalie is one that everybody deserves at least one of in their lives. I love the way they just know each other and the way Natalie responded to Ellie when she shared her pain with her. Like, obviously Sellie is the epitome of being in love with your best friend, but her and Nat have such a special connection too and I love that for Ellie. And Delaney, well you’ll find out but I love her so much!!! I also loved how her and her mom ended up btw, she deserved that so much.
Also, if you’ve made it this far in my ramble: hey hello glad to have you. Now, I need to tell you about the couch scene. That scene is arguably the hottest scene I’ve ever read in any book. Like hello hot damn. These two are obviously electric together, they have amazing chemistry and they know each other - and each other’s bodies - so well, they know exactly what makes the other person tick. Also, Sully has a filthy mouth hehehehehe I love it. All the spice scenes were hot and incredible but the couch scene takes the cake!
So just in short: incredible writing that will completely immerse you and make you feel all the joy and pain the characters are feeling. Incredible characters that I love so much, they are everything to me and I am so happy they’re happy, because they deserve the world. Incredible storytelling, I just did not want this book to end…
I can’t wait for Theo’s book (literally foaming at the mouth, I’m not even kidding), I go feral for a professor mmc and I need it right now please. I love how we see the other characters in every one of Amelie’s books because I love all of these characters so much. I just want to read endless of books about all of them being happy and domestic and one big happy family.
Thank you Amelie Rhys for the ARC!!!

Like, yes he tried to be there as much as possible and researched etc 7 years ago, but he was also barely an adult and it makes sense that he wasn’t able to know and be everything he wanted to be and what Ellie needed (especially because he didn’t know everything). The fact that he recognised that himself and learned from that shows how much he’s grown and how much he cares about Ellie. I swear, this man is just the biggest green flag ever (you’ll see what I’m saying, like green flag capital G).
There is so much heartbreak and pain in this story but the way Ellie and Sully come together during this tragedy is so incredibly beautiful. They supported each other and - with a little Annie nudge - put back together what was broken and needed a new start. They are each other’s sunshine (yellow people, yellow) and I just can’t… I just love them so much. The flashbacks were one of my favourite things about this book - as they always are in Amelie’s books. Sellie is so incredibly cute together, like they are SOULMATES. The way Sully saw Ellie and immediately knew that no one else mattered (I’ll say it once again, Amelie Rhys is the QUEEN of ‘it’s always been you’). He met her first!!! Also the way that she has always seen him and let him be exactly who he is. And the present too, they are so perfect together and the little ways they kept telling each other ‘I (still) love you’ without actually saying it…gaahhhhhh OBSESSED!! I just cannot stop saying how much I love them, how cute they are together, how PERFECT they are together, like they’re basically the same person and it works so well for them. There are so many moments that you’re gonna absolutely swoon about and ugh I’m just so excited for everyone to read about them.
Omg and I have a new fave microtrope —> SHE CUTS HIS HAIR!!! It gives the same vibes as an mmc washing the fmcs hair and I’m totally here for it!!
Oh and I have to mention the relationship between Ellie and the other Londons, because I’m so obsessed with it. The way they took her in and she found what she desperately needed with them… ugh I’m gonna tear up thinking about it. Theo being the best big brother, the same goes for Blake, for both Ellie and Sully btw. And her friendship with Natalie is one that everybody deserves at least one of in their lives. I love the way they just know each other and the way Natalie responded to Ellie when she shared her pain with her. Like, obviously Sellie is the epitome of being in love with your best friend, but her and Nat have such a special connection too and I love that for Ellie. And Delaney, well you’ll find out but I love her so much!!! I also loved how her and her mom ended up btw, she deserved that so much.
Also, if you’ve made it this far in my ramble: hey hello glad to have you. Now, I need to tell you about the couch scene. That scene is arguably the hottest scene I’ve ever read in any book. Like hello hot damn. These two are obviously electric together, they have amazing chemistry and they know each other - and each other’s bodies - so well, they know exactly what makes the other person tick. Also, Sully has a filthy mouth hehehehehe I love it. All the spice scenes were hot and incredible but the couch scene takes the cake!
So just in short: incredible writing that will completely immerse you and make you feel all the joy and pain the characters are feeling. Incredible characters that I love so much, they are everything to me and I am so happy they’re happy, because they deserve the world. Incredible storytelling, I just did not want this book to end…
I can’t wait for Theo’s book (literally foaming at the mouth, I’m not even kidding), I go feral for a professor mmc and I need it right now please. I love how we see the other characters in every one of Amelie’s books because I love all of these characters so much. I just want to read endless of books about all of them being happy and domestic and one big happy family.
Thank you Amelie Rhys for the ARC!!!

“But Sullivan London would always be my rock, my steadiness in an ocean full of storms. And I hadn’t realized just how unmoored I’d felt for the last few years until I came home, anchored myself in his harbors again.”
i discovered amelie rhys when she used to write on wattpad and ever since i’ve been obsessed with her. She writes emotions like no other does and she delivered again with this book.
The story of Ellie and Sully was a heartbreaking one and definitely had its share of ups and downs but thats what made it even more beautiful. Seeing them be there for each other when things got rough and then better just had be bawling!!
The writing was EXCEPTIONALLY amazing (just as i knew it would be) and it was really amazing to see the found family and how much love ellie and sully were surrounded by.
I loved the characters so much and Sully just had my heart. There’s something about MMC who yearns that i can never get over and that man, deserves the best!!
Ellie has been through so much and i just want to protect her. Her story was filled with pain and tragedy so I cant be any more happy that she got her happy ending.
Again at home was an amazing read and a story which is gonna be in my heart for quite some time. I loved the snippets we got of ther fouples and im anticipating the next amelie book already!
“Ellie was my constant. I would love her for light-years, for the amount of time that it took for the most distant stars to reach Earth. My love would be loud and bright and warm. And even after I was gone, even after she was gone, people would still see it.
For a million years more.”
Thankyou love notes pr for providing me with the arc.

A huge thanks to the author for sending me the e-ARC of this book ✨
Amelie Rhys is one of my favorite authors; the way she writes yearning is unmatched. Her MMCs are sooo dedicated to their women, they’re honestly perfect. And they’re also fully fleshed characters.
From childhood best friends to lovers to strangers, what happens when Ellie and Sully meet for the first time in 5 years after their break up ?
The chemistry between the characters is insane. They were so connected.
This story is about pregnancy and how it can impact health. I like how the author chose to talk in details about the possible complications because that’s not often discussed in books. Pregnancy is not often at the center of relationships in books, not in the way it was here. There were so many important discussions, about birth control, complications from the pill, vasectomy.
And seeing all the London siblings and characters from her other books was such a nice touch !! This family is so lovable, and it was a nice touch to see everyone from the previous books. Family is a big point in this book, and it made me love it even more.

I don’t even know how to put this book into words because it completely owned my heart. 🥹
Ellie and Sully gave me one of the softest, most emotional romances I’ve read in a long time. This isn’t just a love story—it’s about healing, finding your way back to yourself, and learning that love can still exist after unimaginable loss.
And Sully… where do I even begin? 😭 This man has been in love from the very beginning, and the YEARNING?? I was absolutely unwell. Every look, every conversation, every quiet moment between them had my heart squeezing. He loved Ellie with so much patience and tenderness that I genuinely couldn’t get enough of him.
Amelie handled the heavier topics with so much care and compassion, and you can feel how much heart was poured into every page. It made Ellie’s journey feel incredibly real, and I found myself rooting for her happiness from beginning to end.
Getting to see familiar faces from previous books made coming back to this world feel like coming home, and I honestly never wanted it to end.
If you love…

They loved each other for 14 years. 14 years. The first thing I can tell you is: read it, because even though it has a few small flaws, it’s really worth it. Do you want a sincere and genuine love story? Two main characters who accept each other's flaws and make them their own? Here is the right book for you. Sully and Elly are so sweet that, even though the book is 500 pages long, you finish it very quickly. The book deals with important topics I had never explored before. One example is pregnancy, with all its beauty and difficulties. Even if the topic is complex and I know nothing about it, Amelie Rhys writing makes you feel deeply connected to the words, choices, and daily lives of her characters. I felt very close to Eleanor Summer, the main character. Not because we are alike, not at all, but I came to understand her choices, from the simplest to the most complex ones, and especially to empathize with her. As for Sully London, what can I say? I loved him from the very first moment. Literally.
“It had been 𝒇𝒊𝒗𝒆 years, five years of trying to get over her. And a single glimpse of Eleanor Summers had me falling 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 to square one.”
As soon as I read these words, being the hopeless romantic that I am, I couldn't help but smile like a fool. I wish all of you reading this book a man like Sully London by your side, because a man so caring and sensitive is not easy to find, not even in books.
Despite the many positive aspects, there is one thing that made me turn my nose up a bit not because it’s a "negative thing" in the true sense, but because for my personal taste it didn't fully convince me. At times, I found some parts of the book quite repetitive. In particular, I noticed that some concepts and dialogues were repeated over and over again, as if the author wanted to make sure at all costs that the message came through loud and clear. While at first this gives emphasis, in the long run it risks slowing down the pace a bit and making the reading less smooth. It is really a small detail that I happily overlooked for the rest of the story, but it made me feel like the plot got stuck in place for a few pages too many before starting again. It’s not a book I would recommend for a perfect plot, but for the feelings it makes you feel and for the incredibly real characters. If you feel like reading something that will make you smile, definitely check it out!

Review of ARC
This book had me in a constant state of fluctuating emotions!
It had all the feels, from their reunion to her finding out about her unexpected pregnancy to the nostalgia of her moving into his childhood home.
I really loved how easily they fit back into each other's lives again. Sully's attention and care for Ellie was so thoughtful and sweet. Ellie was so brave, choosing to keep the pregnancy and move back home.
My favourite part is when they renovated - choosing paint samples and painting the walls (and each other!) and then cleaning up in the garden sprinklers afterward. I also really enjoyed the family dynamic, seeing how his brothers, Natalie and his mother showed up for her (and him). Although I must say, Sully is, by far, my favourite brother. 🤭
Overall, this book was a 5 star read. I had high hopes and it was definitely exceeded! Hope there's more to come!

I truly don’t know how I could rate an Amelie Rhys book so low but it has somehow happened. From everyone’s stories I truly was nervous for Sully and Ellie. A second chance is so utterly difficult. The hardest thing for me is how can I truly believe in the love between two people to be so strong when they are broken apart by something that doesn’t even really feel resolved in the end of the book. Amelie tackled serious topics and I felt like she did to the best of her ability. It just didn’t feel resolved even at the end with how many pages there are. I thought the story would come together and show me the missing puzzle pieces but it never did come together for me. I really am disappointed to the point that I question myself and the need to re-read to see what I missed that others saw. I’m rambling and truly it reflects how I have not been able wrap my head around this book and how disappointed I was.

“It’s always been you…”
“For the past thirteen years, you’ve been the only thing I’ve ever known…”
First of all, I have to say, Amelie, please, if you’re reading this, never stop writing, keep giving the world books with the kind of romance and feelings who keep us between laughs and tears, because yes, if I had one word to describe this book, that word would be BEAUTIFUL. This story was so beautifully written that even the parts where my heart was breaking for the characters stopped feeling painful.
This is my first reading Amelie’s books, and I can’t believe I didn’t start sooner! so when I got the ARC, I decided I had time enough to start the whole series, and I think it was the best decision. Because once I started Again at Home, I was really happy to see some familiar faces.
I have to admit that second chances are not my favorite kind of books, personal taste only, but this is because sometimes it tends to be just miscommunication or most of the time, the MMC is a super jerk, but I’m happy to say this was not the case.
“But I met Eleanor Summers first. I met Eleanor first, and I no longer cared about being last at anything else.”
Sullivan London, THE MAN YOU ARE! Who doesn’t love an MMC like Sully, a man who fell hard, a man who is so bloody loving, supportive and understanding. Sully knew that there wouldn’t be anyone else for his heart but Eleanor, and he proved that, time after time after time. This man is the kind of book boyfriend I love, because yes, he’s going to my never ending list. Loving, caring, freaking adorable, and that mouth… I was not expecting that! I feel like I was blushing more and more every time hahaha.
“His touch felt like home. Like water after weeks in the desert…”
Eleanor Summers, I will protect you from anything in this world, because yes, Ellie deserves only the best. She was such a remarkable character, and oh god, I just wanted to take all the pain and struggles she went through the whole book away. Ellie was a beautifully written character, brave, resilient and fucking strong. As the book started to progress and so her relationship, you can absolutely understand her decisions, that even if they caused pain and heartbreak, for her, it was necessary.
Now, I was a bit intrigued about how the pregnancy and pregnancy lost when I applied for an ARC. I’m a first time mom to a beautiful boy, but I’m also someone who has gone through three miscarriages, two before my little boy and one just this year. We always read about the happiness and the excitement pregnancy brings in different books, but Again at Home, FOR ME, brought a different perspective and awareness about how sometimes this journey it’s not a happy ending. Amelie managed to represent this in such a respectful and caring way, putting probably some situations which make us relate a lot with the characters. It doesn’t matter how many precautions we take, or how much doctors want to help us, using medicine or different treatments, especially with high risk pregnancies, at the end, our body for some reason says no, and there’s nothing else to do.
Pregnancy loss is something that a lot of people prefer or tend to go through in a silent or lonely way. To read how Ellie and Sully went through this, from accepting the news, to make plans to sadly loose it. I liked how we not only read about Eleanor’s but also Sully’s perspective (we got to see too how he was not just standing by, but he tried to be informed, how to help Ellie.) Amelie shared with us not only Ellies grief but Sully’s too, there was not a point where the main focus was just in one person, because this loss was not just for one of them, it belong to both of them.
After all the pain and sadness, they slowly made their way to each other, they kept choosing each other because there would never be anyone else. And this the point I made from the beginning, the way these two professed their feelings for each other, not just the happy ones, but the sad ones too, the ones where they talked about their pain and longing, every word, it was beautiful to read.
Again at Home give us a very real concept. Life sometimes doesn’t really follow plans, everything can change. Eleanor and Sullivan drifted apart for some years, but they never lost that love, the feelings, if anything, the time gave them the chance to heal to understand themselves better and their lives too, and to find their way back to each other, to start again.
I really enjoyed the book, I laughed a bit, I blushed, A LOT, and I cried my eyes out many, many times. I can’t wait to see what Amelie brings next!

#Review: *Again at Home* - Amelie Rhys - ARC [18+]
4.5/5✨
3/5🌶️
They have been each other's first love, but now Eleanor "Ellie" Summers and Sullivan Sawyer "Sully" London were trying their best to get their minds around being apart, living miles away from one another. Only there were still so many feelings left in their broken hearts, which lead to them having a one night stand, just wanting to consume that tension which was present between them. Nothing has prepared them for what was about to come from that night, which was a surprise pregnancy, which was going to be one with a very high risk in Ellie's case. She might have moved away from her hometown a couple of years ago, but this new reality has pushed her into returning home, to be closer to her baby's father, Sully. What she didn't expect was for her to live in Sully’s former home, a place filled with so many memories with them. On top of dealing with all these things from her past, Ellie had to face with a very hurtful loss which will test not only her, but Sully as well. Will they be able to recover from that and try to rebuild everything that has been destroyed all those years ago? Will they be able to heal from everything that has recently happened to them?
This was such an emotional and beautiful second chance romance!🥹 Indeed, there were many pages for one romance book, but I enjoyed so much getting to learn about Ellie’s and Sully’s present and past stories. It was obvious that there were some unfinished business between them and you could see that because of that chemistry which was still so very much present. Their connection so profound because of their history together, being in each other's lives for so many years. It was a strong bound, but there was something which disturbed that connection and I was curious what exactly happened which could explain why Ellie moved alone far away from her hometown. Also, everything that came with her accidental pregnancy it was truly emotional, all her fears becoming even more acute. Ellie’s condition was quite tough but I liked how strong she was and that she decided to fight for her pregnancy, even if it terrified her. Sully was such a sweetheart and I liked how supportive he was and how he stood by her in that delicate situation. It was tough to be around the person he loved but to not have her besides him like he once used to. The road they were on now part of was painful, but beautiful at the same time, loving to see how they got to reconnect and to lean on each other on their healing journey.
Before diving into this book I strongly advise to check the list of triggers, as this story may have many aspects that could affect readers. You should prepare yourself for a truly emotional story and a captivating romance that will truly move you. This is the 5th book from “Wildflower “ series, but it can be read as a standalone as well.

They have been each other's first love, but now Eleanor "Ellie" Summers and Sullivan Sawyer "Sully" London were trying their best to get their minds around being apart, living miles away from one another. Only there were still so many feelings left in their broken hearts, which lead to them having a one night stand, just wanting to consume that tension which was present between them. Nothing has prepared them for what was about to come from that night, which was a surprise pregnancy, which was going to be one with a very high risk in Ellie's case. She might have moved away from her hometown a couple of years ago, but this new reality has pushed her into returning home, to be closer to her baby's father, Sully. What she didn't expect was for her to live in Sully’s former home, a place filled with so many memories with them. On top of dealing with all these things from her past, Ellie had to face with a very hurtful loss which will test not only her, but Sully as well. Will they be able to recover from that and try to rebuild everything that has been destroyed all those years ago? Will they be able to heal from everything that has recently happened to them?

Eleanor and Sullivan were always meant to be, but life got in the way and they haven’t seen each other in five years. When they’re unexpectedly reunited and spend the night together, Ellie becomes pregnant and decides to move home to be where Sully is for their child.
This was such a beautiful story of love, loss, heartbreak, grief and how two people can find their way back to each other through it all. There are some heavier themes explored here, and I appreciated how pregnancy loss was portrayed with compassion and care, while highlighting how important women’s health is. As someone who works in this field, it is incredibly important for these conversations to be happening!
As always, the writing is wonderful and really immerses you in what these characters are going through – good and bad. Ellie and Sully were so well written, and wonderfully complex characters with their own fears, hopes and dreams. The yearning in this book from both sides is top-notch and the chemistry is undeniable! And though the central reason for their separation relies heavily on miscommunication (or even lack of communication), the reasons behind it felt honest for these characters. This one is definitely an emotional rollercoaster and filled with heartbreak, but also love, friendship, family bonds and most importantly being there for those you love.
I really loved the flashbacks throughout the years of their relationship. It added such a great foundation to build upon and give insight to who they have become. And getting a glimpse of Ellie back with the Londons and getting to see favorite characters from stories past was just so fun! I’m very much looking forward to Theo’s book next!
Overall, this was a beautiful second-chance romance about finding your way back to the person you were always meant to be with, while discovering that life can break your heart and give you exactly what you need at the very same time. Highly recommend if you loved any of Amelie’s previous books or if you’re looking for an emotionally devastating romance filled with yearning!

⭐️4.5 Stars⭐️
What a beautiful, but also heartbreaking, second-chance romance.
This story was definitely an up and down. Sully is the definition of down bad, the yearning is absolutely unreal! You can’t help but root for Sully and Ellie. They are each other’s first and only everything and throughout all the heartbreak, grief, love, yearning and longing, they always only have eyes for each other.
Amelie perfectly captured how deeply these two missed each other. Their breakup wasn’t caused by a lack of love, but rather by miscommunication and the belief that letting go was the right thing to do. It becomes clear that neither of them can truly live without the other and even while they are apart, they quietly keep watching over one another from a distance.
Through both the present timeline and the flashbacks, you get to see how much they grow individually, but also how they grow together once they reconnect. They would both sacrifice everything for each other and the unconditional love they share is just beautiful. Watching them heal together was one of my favorite parts of the story.
I also really loved the found family aspect and the unconditional support from their friends and family. It was so nice to see familiar faces again. The people around them recognize what they’re going through, but instead of interfering, they allow Sully and Ellie to work through it themselves while quietly offering support whenever it’s needed.
As Amelie states, this is not a pregnancy story, it’s a story that includes an on page pregnancy loss. Please check the trigger warnings before reading.
I don’t mind longer books, but my only criticism is that I think the book could have been a little shorter and despite its length, the ending felt a bit abrupt. I just felt like something was missing in those final chapters.
Overall, this was a beautiful and emotional story.
Perfect for fans of:
* Second-chance romance
* Childhood friends to lovers
* Pregnancy and pregnancy loss
* Man obsessed
* Found family

Thank you Amelie for another arc of this series!
This arc review may contain spoilers.
Oh what a rollercoaster this book was and I enjoyed every second of it! (Or atleast besides the sad parts because those made me so emotional)
Amelie put so much thought into curating the perfect fmc and mmc for this book. Ellie and Sully are definitely soulmates. The yearning? Them never really dating anyone in the 5 years that they were broken up? Chlo „setting them up“ with legos? (What a little genius) Them seeing happiness (aka Yellow) in eachother?
Ellie is such a strong person even if she doesn’t think so sometimes. I felt so bad for her for what she was going through with her PE and the miscarriage. I think the „denying“ of it happening was very fitting for her character which made it even more sad because she knew what was happening yet she wanted to deny that her body was betraying her once again.
Thank you for including both medical emergencies in the book! The topic was delicately handled and very informative.
Oh how excited Sully was to be a father. He really tried to mask his hurt and sadness which were caused by the miscarriage just to be able to take better care of Ellie. He really tried his best to help Ellie through both of the mentioned hospital visits. You could really feel his helplessness which was obviously understandable.
Another thing worth mentioning: I love how Sully just chose colors that matched Ellie’s eyes, her hair, the dress and happiness. I really loved this part of the book.
I‘m so glad that they got their happy ending after all the pain they went through. They once again found comfort in each other but this time in a gut wrenching situation which they learned to deal with together.

Guys, guys - just what is going on with me at the moment!?
Ok, please don't judge, but for some reason - this is book 5!! Book 5 of the Wildflower series - the one that I've already read books 2 and 3 - but not 1 or 4!
Honestly!
Anyway, I'm extremely happy to have found this new release and I can confirm that - despite the obvious series mini spoilers - this read perfectly well as a standalone read and I once again, had the best time ever.
I loved the whole angle of this storyline and although it does deal with some really tough topics, these were sensitively written within the main story and therefore didn't overpower the whole book.
I loved both our characters and their shared history was so beautifully heart-wrenching to watch play out over the course of the read.
The fact that they had come together and fallen in love in the past (twice already) meant that feelings could never be erased - although the feelings of hurt were obviously at the forefront for some time.
I couldn't imagine going through what Ellie and Sully did and coming out of the other side at all, and it was really wonderful to see them navigate things together and apart and to watch them evolve as people through their shared experiences.
This was such a great read and it's definitely a reminder of how much I love this author's writing and this series - I really do need to grab the other books and get catching up before the next book heads our way!

I AM UTTERLY SPEECHLESS. First off, thank you to Amelie and her team for an ARC of this BEAUTIFUL story.
Where do I begin with Sully and Ellie? Their story was the perfect mix of emotions and I loved every single second of it. The topics of grief and loss in this book were so perfectly written. Every Ellie went through was written partially from Amelie's own personal experiences and I think it was written beautifully. Amelie's writing never fails to amaze me. Everything she writes is so beautiful. I truly felt for Ellie throughout this story and what she was struggling with.
And Sully. SULLIVAN. SAWYER. LONDON. Give this man a degree in YEARNALISM right. now. Sully is one of the most yearning MMCs I've ever read and I am HERE FOR IT. The way he only ever wanted Ellie and how their paths eventually came back to each other was so so beautiful.
Also, I don't know what these London men are doing but they're all HOT AF. Honestly just all of Amelie's MMCs are beyond hot, dirty mouths and all, and I am obsessed with all of them 😮💨
I don't know WHAT Amelie puts in her books but they are ADDICTIVE. I am thoroughly obsessed with this series and these characters. All of their stories are so so special to me.
Overall, everything about this story was so heartfelt, beautiful, perfect and I loved all of it.

My QUEEN Amelie Rhys has done it again!!!
This book rocketed its way into one of my fav romances ever. 10/10 obsessed! The angst, the grief, the adoration!!!! Ellie and Sully are the most perfect little soulmates I felt like I was either blushing or crying the whole time. The way they take care of each other is to die for.
Also, the representation of women’s experiences in medicine was top notch. I was really worried it was going to be anti-birth control or anti medicine, but she did a really good job showing how off handed comments and health care professionals can be really dismissive of women, while also explaining how these things can be beneficial and life saving. She did a fabulous job capturing the conflicting emotions women experience in a healthcare setting.
Finally, I want to shout out Amelie for writing a story that involved lovers as teens without writing an underage sex scene. There were implications, sure, but too many authors use second chance romance as an opportunity to write “first time” scenes and sexual exploration in minors which is just so inappropriate and has ruined books for me before. I was so grateful that while she implied they had been intimate as minors, she didn’t divulge any details. It’s something that should be small but really speaks to her ethics as a writer. Again, my QUEEN!

4.5⭐
This was my first Amelie Rhys book. She was recommendation from a friend and I was definitely not disappointed. I'm so lucky that i got this book as an arc.
The way she writes characters with so much emotional depth is just beautiful. The story is a standalone that jumps smoothly between the past and present, and seeing Sully and Ellie's history together was so good. They are my absolute favorites and deserve the world. I felt so connected to them, and their chemistry was completely off the charts.
Even though it can be a bit heavy at times because of sensitive topics like pregnancy loss and health anxiety, it’s handled with so much care and respect. The longing of this book was also good . Sully was so down bad for her.
Sure, the characters could have talked things out more before breaking up, but they were young, naive, and still growing up, which made their eventual resolution and healing feel so earned. Overall, I honestly loved it. I love the side characters too. Can't wait to read the other books of this series.
Thank you love note pr for the arc.🥰🥰

Me being so excited for Sully’s book from the first moment we ever met him and then it absolutely destroying me😭
Sully and Ellie😭😭😭😭😭😭
Nothing I write is worthy of this book. I don’t have the words to describe the depth of this story and how incredibly it was written, especially such a heavy subject which was handled with so much care
The way Sully loves and supports Ellie through the hardest time in their lives is so lovely, he doesn’t leave any room for her to doubt his devotion to her and will be there for her no matter what.
I love that these two found their way back to each other, it was such an emotional rollercoaster but so worth it.
From the moment Sully meets Ellie at 13 years old, she has been his every waking thought. Everything starts and ends with her.
I love their love
“I can’t think of a single thing that makes me happier than you”
The London family are my favourites, they are so supportive of each other and would do anything for their family.
I love how much they all adore Ellie and are so happy to have her back in their lives with Sully.
I loved this book so much and now need 10-15 business days to recover
Thank you for the ARC🫶🏻

The family. The emotional roller coaster. The YEARNING.
I can’t say enough good things about this series / this book. It was super sweet to get the flashbacks to their younger selves and see what was going through their heads at the time.
I lovedddd the open dialogue they had with each other and the patience that Sully showed…… utter perfection and I’m in awe of the way Amelie was able to write it so perfectly. The loss in this book was handled with great care and I couldn’t have thought of a better way to have it be discussed so openly.
Unfortunately for me I am already looking forward to the final book in the series and I simply will have to reread the whole series again to keep myself going.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
ACR from @lovenotes.pr
I loved this book however it was a big trigger for me with certain parts of this book such as pregnancy loss.
However the way Amelie has written this book was with such great sensitivity and awareness it is just perfectly written.
I absolutely loved how Ellie is so brave and strong throughout this whole process, I absolutely felt like it was me all over again.
I wasn't a fan of Sully at the beginning but as I kept on reading I started to kinda like him, the way he always showed up for Ellie and his feelings towards her never giving up was beautiful.
Thank you @lovenotes.pr for this lovely ACR copy in exchange for an honest review

This book is absolutely heartbreaking. I can't remember the last time that I read a book that had just so much sadness for the characters. They definitely have some "I'm never letting you go" vibes but they still have plenty of struggle to go through
So in the story we have childhood of friends to lovers to strangers to lovers. One of them makes a decision that ends up changing the relationship completely. But years later they end up together, making a "bad" decision. Little did they know, that it would change them forever. Their story really made me want to cry but also I loved the growth that they went through.

Amelie continues to make every new book she writes, my new favorite book in the series. Idk how but she does it! This book will put you through the emotional ringer on the best way. I was 14% actually sobbing and also very hot and bothered by the most angsty spicy scene I’ve ever read. This was one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching second chance romances I’ve ever read. By the end though, your heart will be put back together again. I have so many highlights in this book to prove it 🤣
