I love Roni Loren’s books and this one was no exception! Eliza and Beckett were both well-rounded, unique characters that had me routing for them in their personal stories as well as in the relationship they built with one another. A perfect mix of cute romance and heartfelt emotion.

The third book in Roni Loren's series. This is a deep and emotional book about a therapist who is sufferring from grief. She meets Beckham... who also has a lot of his own issues to deal with. They connect with each other and become very good friends and more.. Like the other books in the series, the writer handles mental issues in a sensitive manner. It is such a sweet book about learning to love and dealing with heart-breaking adversities. I really enjoy it.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Roni Loren could write a grocery list and I would read it over and over again. Ever since I read Yes & I Love You, I was hooked in the Say Everything series. I've been looking forward to every book ever since and I am utterly grateful to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for giving me the chance of reading each books in the series.

For You & No One Else isn't my favourite book, Andi and Hill's story will forever stay my favourite, but it doesn't mean and Beck' and Eli's story wasn't good. It was a little bit more slow paced than what I usually go for, but God, it was worth it.
There are certain themes in this book that might not appeal to everyone, but they are still very interesting to read about and how Roni Loren included them in this book.

I loved the character growth of Beckham and Eliza. They learned so much throughout their story and I loved how everything turned out. Honestly, at the end, I didn't know how she would tie everything up but it was done beautifully. I also loved how we got a peek to the other couples from the previous book.

The conflict part at the 75% mark got me on my toes. The one thing thought, was that Beckham said some awful (even though some are true) things to Eliza and he didn't grovel enough in the end. I understand why he felt that way, but the ending was too easy for him.

Overall, like every Roni Loren's books, I really enjoyed it. It was such a great story and I can't wait for everyone to read it!

CW: cult associations, death of parents, parental estrangement, cyberbullying, addiction recovery

For You & No One Else is the third book in Roni Loren's series and I think it's probably my favorite! Eliza is a 32 year old therapist who is hoping to find her forever love. She's dealing with the grief of losing her parents and some unresolved insecurity, but is overall a fun, smart, and likable character. Beckham is interesting.... (ha! IYKYK) Beckham is dealing with his own issues from the past and the journey he's made is dropped like little bread crumbs throughout the first 3/4 of the book. You can piece together his history, but it isn't until the final 1/4 of the book do you really get a good look at Beckham and all he's been through and overcome. I do feel like the blurb for this book doesn't showcase how deep it is - there is so much more to the story than a viral video and a bet (I honestly forgot about the bet shortly after it was made...)

I loved the evolution of Eliza and Beckham. And I loved their friendship. They really had a connection that seemed easy and never forced or "insta-love." For You & No One Else is much like it's counterparts in the series as it covers very real mental health issues and life circumstances - BUT - it's done so in a way that is organic and not "preachy" or judgmental in any way. As a counselor, I enjoyed this book and could really hear some of the "therapist speech" in the conversations, but it was all done very naturally! I loved that Eliza wouldn't compromise confidentiality and made a point to reach out to necessary sources as mandated when she needed to. Well done!

Overall, a very sweet story of love, faith, and courage... in so many different forms and in so many different ways. Worth the read for sure! Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca, Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
