i’m very happy with this book.

the story was oh-so-lovely. i’m such a sucker for childhood best friends-to-lovers and second-chance romance and honestly, i couldn’t put it down.

it progressed amazingly, the characters were clearly meant to be together and i found them pretty cool and likeable.

seeing actual explanations was another huge positive for me to see and thankfully the miscommunication happened in the past and we didn’t have to endure it in the present.

the vibes between the brothers were also another bonus (the little brother, Jack, is going to be a delight to read, i just know it) because they’re just so funny and hilarious when they’re together.

as per usual, she writes about serious life problems that families and individuals have to face in their lives and they play a huge part in their development. this is something i appreciate a lot.

if i could find something that i didn’t like was that it dragged a little in some parts and again her writing style —but i have come to realise that this is just her style which is obviously not aligned with my preferences in order for a book to captivate me.

just to clarify this, is just more of a fairytale-y kind of way the way she describes things. like a lot of the time i wouldn’t imagine that these kinds of dialogues would exist in real life but it’s still fine because it makes it a light and easy read that i’m more than happy to spend my time with.

Harrison and Laney’s second-chance romance in this story was so passionate, heartbreaking at times, and beautiful. I loved their story so much - how they found their way back to one another. And I will always take more of the Montgomery brothers. They are all such vivid characters with distinct and fun personalities. Can’t wait for Jack’s story in the next book!
