A bit too long maybe but I'd still consider it Lauren Asher's best work.
This book was just what I needed. Rafa, Ellie, and Nico have my whole heart. I usually shy away from the single dad trope but this book was phenomenal. It will have you giggling and swooning the whole time.
LOVE UNWRITTEN
review
This book is feels too long and at the same not long enough, given all the themes it contains - and which don't feel all flushed out to me.
Ellie and Rafael are both complex and interesting characters. Even without throwing Nico into the mix, there would have been enough to discover just about those two. Nico is in a way what brings Rafael and Ellie together, but he is also a constant in their relationship and very present in the story, Ellie being his nanny and all - something that admittedly isn't as much my cup of tea, but a crucial part of the story.
I enjoyed the book, and had a jolly good time but in the end this feels half-baked and, again, too full of storylines, and those do not get enough attention. And that caused me to not feel too emotionally involved.
Tropes:
- single dad x nanny
- slow burn
- forced proximity
- billionaire romance
- small town
- grumpy x sunshine
- dual PoV

3.75* ⭐️ it was definitely a cute vibe, I think it was much better written than the first book.
4.5 ⭐️ lowkey long for no reason at some point… like we get it. Otherwise good book. I liked how it addressed trauma and mental health.

I loved everything about this book truly. But I’m giving it a 4.5 stars.
I liked that they the characters worked on their communication at the end of the book, and the author talked about both characters anxieties and how they want to be better and not make it their whole personality in a sense. I have anxiety myself and I overthink a lot so reading about their anxiety had spiked mine because the characters wouldn’t talk about it and they would bottle up their problems and emotions which I resonated so much and it caused my own anxiety to come out, so that’s why I’m rating it a 4.5 stars.
If the minor trope wasn’t that I would have rated this book so much higher than I did, I love a good single dad and nanny trope when it’s well written, and this was just that
Lauren Asher knows how to write a kid, Nico was a one of the main subject In the book but she didn’t make him annoying or rude to people if that makes sense, he was respectful and nice, his emotions were very valid and the parent (Rafael) talked to him about and handled it very well. She wrote the kid and single parent relationship very respectful to where it was easy to read about it comfortably without forcing it on the readers. She added just enough amount while also focusing on the dad and nanny.
