I didn’t know until the last page how this book was going to end. I debated and I went back and forth on how many books to give these two. But really, it’s not my decision. It’s theirs.
What they’ve told me is they’ve said everything they needed to say. I feel it and I’m proud of them. I’m proud of this book.
I’m not saying we won’t see Trent and Drew again. We will. But perhaps not in their own full-length novel.
I feel like it’s time for these two to just be happy. To have all those moments Trent wants to have. I think we all know it might not ever be easy for them in some respects, but that just makes their happiness that much sweeter.
It’s a beautiful thing for people to be happy when sometimes life gives them reason not to be.
