So I saw the tropes on What I Should’ve Said, and thought, you know what, I could use an emotional enemies to lovers book. But man I was not prepared to be so emotional invested in to Norah, Bennett and Summers lives. And did I expect to be crying like a baby? NO! But I was. And I would do it all over again. What I  Should’ve Said was a beautiful book that broke you down emotionally but then built you back up. Bennett is grumpy and doesn’t have time for anything except his wonderfully amazing daughter Summer. Summer is an adorable 7 year old who is very sick but even though her pain is a ray of sunshine. When Norah comes to Red Bridge after running out on her wedding she didn’t expect to irritate the grouchy Bennett from the first meeting but she did. There was a pull between these two that he fought so damn hard until he just couldn’t anymore. The amazing friendship that Norah and Summer shared was amazing. Taylor Swift and the color pink will always bring the girlies together. I loved every second of this book, 5-stars.
