Delicious tension, sizzling chemistry, beautiful writing, great banter, relatable and lovable FMC, realistic issues that have a satisfying resolution, a wonderful healing journey, and believable dialogue - I cannot fathom 𝙔𝙤𝙪, 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘼 𝙑𝙞𝙚𝙬 was Jessica Joyce's debut novel. Absolutely fantastic!

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦? 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯?"

I was really vibing with the humor, I loved Noelle's inner monologue and my favorite (but rare) thing about a single POV book is when it's so obvious to the reader that the MMC is into the FMC without ever being inside his head, truly the sign of great writing. 

Every single aspect of this book was well done in my opinion. It was easy to root for these characters, easy to follow along, easy to fall in love right alongside them. 

It felt real and realistic without being boring. It was refreshing to read about a couple that actually made sense together beyond physical attraction. You could practically feel the affection Theo felt for Noelle dripping off the page, I loved every second of it.

So many other small things to enjoy in this: the closeness of the family, no unnecessary dragging out of conflict, the special connection to their grandparents, learning to heal from grief, grandpa Paul being an absolute sweetheart, the man that is Theo Spencer... I could go on for a while. 🎧 audiobook was a 10/10 as well

𝙔𝙤𝙪, 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘼 𝙑𝙞𝙚𝙬 did what many other contemporary romances can only hope to achieve: made me laugh and sigh and swoon, entertained me and moved me, made me feel seen and understood and 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡, long after closing the book.
