This was on fire!!!! A fun winter read! I loved all the characters! Kallum and Winnie are making a movie together for the Hope Channel. Winnie has recently divorced her husband and Kallum's  intimate activities have become an embarrassment to his family. They both hope this movie is a fresh start. When they meet and are instantly attracted to each other things heat up quickly. They both discover new things about themselves and find forgiveness for old pains while they explore this new relationship.

There are no good variables to work with when the answer to the equation is other peoples' idea of perfection.

Another one where I liked the previous book in the series, liked the main and side characters, liked much of what was being addressed, but still didn't love the story or execution. Le sigh.

There's no age when people stop learning about their bodies.

A note about the sexual content: features a sexual awakening and admirably frank language and scenes of exploration as a character deprograms from the learned shame and inhibitions of purity culture Other content notes: in addition to the unplanned pregnancy trope, there's a

miscarriage scare

that opens the door for

toxic religious parents

to try to regain a foothold in a main characters life
