"I'm not sure I have the right words to describe it yet because "love" doesn't feel strong enough to describe what's grown between us."

GENRE: Romance
RATING:4.25/5
FORMAT:eBook Arc

Overall Impression:A Love Story that brings two people who don't believe they deserve more and has the dynamic of a Grumpy x Sunshine? I'm always in for this, especially with a soft hearted MMC that breaks through the walls of our strong willed FMC.

Review:
Selfless Love is a story about two people who find each other, bring the best out of each other and show one another that there is hope in the world for them.

You have Adhira, who is going through cancer and grieving for multiple reason. Because of a lot of different factors, she decides to tackle her treatment and struggles alone. In many ways throughout the story, we see why Adhira makes this choice and how it impacts her. A lot of it ties to the fact that she feels she is too much for everyone else and that she isn't worth being a burden to her family and friends.

Enter Elijah, who is her new flatmate and instantly recognises a lot of the signs that Adhira tries to hide and he shows up for her in ways she didnt expect or want to accept. As we slowly starts to get to know him, we see Elijah for the Golden Retriever MMC he is, how he gives and has constantly done so without receiving a lot back.

I think one of my favourite part about Selfless Love is that you get to see how both MCs help each other. Adhira is able to see that she deserves help and is not a burden. She is shown throughout the story by multiple people that just because she is different whether it is due to her neurodivergent, her newly discovered sickness and treatment or other things that have hunted her throughout life. Elijah gets to see that he can't be there for everyone without receiving anything back. You can only give so much before there is nothing left to give if you don't take care of yourself.

We also get to meet their friend group. This is book 2 in an inter-connected series but as I havent read book one, it was lovely to get to know all the side characters and made me excited to read book 1 and continue the series.

We also meet Archie and both the MCs families. Meeting Elijah's sisters was so wholesome and you see Adhira build her relationship with them throughout the story too.

And as always, I am always here for a Grumpy x Sunshine dynamic and I think this was done in a lovely way with so much pain, emotions and love. I can't wait to read more by the author and the first book in the series.

Thank you to the author and Happily Booked Arc for the Arc copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
