I always have faith in Diane Chamberlain to deliver a good book when I need one. This is the first book I've read since my hospital stay in June started, and honestly it was exactly what I needed. 

I loved both characters of Laura and Dylan. Laura cares about her daughter so much, which is a running plot line in Chamberlain's books. She always focuses heavily on the mother/daughter relationship and how far a mother will go to keep her daughter safe. I love that trope and Chamberlain somehow finds new and innovative ways to write this trope and I love it. 

I LOVED how quickly Dylan stepped into being a father once he found out about Emma. I feel like all guys should be like him and he is perhaps a little too perfect, but that's okay. Also seriously makes me want to go up in a hot air balloon. The closest one to me is $300 a person, so that's a no, but maybe one day. Definitely bucket list item. 

Everything about Sarah's story broke my heart. I really can't say too much about her because of spoilers. I shed a few tears for her, which is not unusual with Diane's books. 

I will say the only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because I did figure out a few things pretty early on. That's not unusual with Chamberlain's books, but I'm still totally okay with that. I will always pick up her books, especially when I need a comfort read.
