I'm still fairly green when it comes to the romance genre, but this was so much more than a standard second chance rom for me.
At first, I wasn't sure Rosie and Dom would or should stay together. Their relationship seemed strictly physical and outside of that, there was just no chemistry, but once the communication started flowing and secret sweet gestures came to light, it was clear their love was real and I was rooting for them to make it.
I really enjoyed the character of the hippy therapist. Removing the physicality of Rosie and Dom's relationship to incite honest and open conversation. It is so common for a couple's individual growth to be stunted when there is an intense emotional connection. When you find the only person you want and need in your life and comfort takes over, then suddenly it's yrs later and you've forgotten to serve yourself and your goals and dreams...
Ok, maybe I went too deep 🤣
Anyway, my point is, Tessa did a great job at exploring the love language within a relationship. I connected with Rosie and maybe even found myself analysing my own life in a way as well. So I guess what I am saying is, read it! 🥰
Oh, and did I mention the spice 🌶 was pretty epic as well 🥵. Never gonna look at a fridge the same way again 🤣.
