REVIEW:
Oh my gah, so cute!! I want all the animals in this book. This story was so adorable but so emotional at the same time. There is a lot of past crap with both MCs that they try to deal with, but some days are better than others. But they fight and keep going. It’s a good story but bring the Kleenex.
Micah has had one heck of a hard life. He’s learned to cope somewhat. Being a deaf/mute isn’t easy and having panic/anxiety disorder doesn’t help. But thankfully he has his dog to help. Until he notices something with her isn’t right. Getting her to the vet, he lapses into a panic attack and Goldie was doing her job trying to get him to a secluded space but the new vet and helpers though Micah was being attacked and tranqed her. Thankfully, Micah came around and realized what they had done and chewed them out leaving everyone feeling awkward. Especially Dr. Santiago. But once Santi realized what was up he did all he could to help take care of her and soothe Micah’s worries. Unfortunately, she was going deaf herself. With getting a new dog, they seemed to blend in and Micah and the Dr seemed to be blending themselves. But several bad events and severe PTSD threaten to ruin everything they’ve worked toward. Now it’s up to them to get the treatment and help they need or just move on and let go.
There are times I wish I could reach in a book and slap people. I mean, for real. What Micah’s parents did to him, and then his siblings, just disgusting. And I’m glad they got told off by authorities. I can’t explain more than that or I give it away. But they get what they deserved.
For Santiago, he’s still having a hard time from being in Afghanistan. Survivor’s guilt and all that are weighing him down and sometimes the nightmares come out violent. And for Micah, it’s not good.
These two have a lot to deal with. It’s a hard story. Love sometimes just flat out sucks and seems to just keep beating people down. But they keep fighting. And with the help of a few dogs and two little kittens, they learn to let go, to laugh, to love, and to keep moving forward.
