Present Perfect An Enemies to Lovers, Small Town Romance (Foxe Hill, Book #2)
Reviews

i’m extremely happy with this book. i genuinely loved it. i can’t think of anything i didn’t like.
it was very sweet and adorable. nothing forced, nothing rushed, everything well balanced and linked together beautifully. it also had a twist i didn’t expect at all!
the main characters were pure and pleasant, and i found all the interactions between them lovely.
a very nice read that i highly recommend!
P.S.: i wish we could get more interactions of Keaton and Violet though, because, well, their book finished a bit too jerkily 🥲.

“You are… everything I’ve read about. You’re the type of woman they write poetry about. Wars won for. And, Delaney, I want you. And I want to at least try this. Because I think if we try, then that’s all we’ll need to do. You and me? We just fit.”
“Like a puzzle piece.”
“Yeah. Like a puzzle piece.”

I need to be content again with just being Asher. Asher at the bonfires on Fridays. Asher with his friends moving on with their lives. Asher doing nothing but being the same Asher as always. Asher with an empty chest.

A part of me wants to wallow and another part of me just wants company. It’s like no matter how much French toast I shovel into my mouth, I never feel quite full.
Delaney took some part of me with her and I’m not sure I’ll get it back. I’m tired of being alone. I’m tired of being overworked and stressed. I’m tired of being tired. No. Tired of being stagnant.

“I see the way he looks at you,” she continues, ignoring my snark. “I see the way you look at him. I don’t see anyone else look at anyone like that, like maybe if you look away for just a second, you’ll never be able to find each other ever again.”

And when I look up at him, I can tell it’s not just a professor possessing a student, but a professor possessed by one.

My mom always said that perfection is the enemy of the good.
