Review:
Where has this author been all my life?? What an amazing book! I never thought there would come a day where I gush and squeal over a Contemporary Adult Fiction, but this beauty showed up and proved me wrong!

Another thing that stood out most for me in this book was Jubilee’s character development. We see her break out of her shell and watch her grow to become this woman with courage and true spirit. However you see it, it’s a slow burn of a book. The story literally revolves around two characters, their job and their family. That’s it. But when both the characters’ lives intertwine, that’s when things get interesting. In between the angst, we get this perfect blend of wit and sarcasm. Eric and Jubilee are such dorks when they’re around one another. Things just intensify when you read about them being together, yet ironically they’re constantly being adorable and awkward around one another. I had some good laughs with this book, as you can tell!
