Ivy carries the quiet certainty that she is never enough for people to stay. Jace is convinced he’s just… existing alongside other people’s magic. Leo has spent decades playing a version of himself; he’s not sure anyone has ever seen the real one.
None of them are looking for this. They don’t even believe it’s possible.
When the three of them find each other, what begins as something steady and grounding quickly becomes something impossible to ignore.
This isn’t a love that fits into neat lines. It doesn’t ask them to choose. It asks them to expand.
And when that expansion doesn’t fit the shape the world expects of love, they are reminded that being seen doesn’t mean being known.
Love like this doesn’t just change you. It asks you to be brave enough to keep it.
A well written story. It's clear this author spent significant time creating this story with good pacing and dialogue. There are a bunch of triggers here, especially with references to prior childhood abuse, prior rape, current multiple mental health issues, etc. so I wouldn't even dare to call this a light read. The story does put a lot of focus on character development, learning lessons and growth. One great thing to note is this is a story about mid-40 year olds growing, loving and still figuring out life. It is a trople love story with open doors but it's definitely not smut as the love scenes aren't significant portions of the book.
