This healed me in so many ways 🥹 I cried for Whit and Wyatt, I giggled at their romance and loved how they helped each other grow all while falling in love too!

I also loved Wyatt and Grants bromance!! Klassen’s books are the definition of found family 🫶 as always the characters are well developed, even the side characters. I enjoyed getting to know Wyatt and Whitney better, and revisiting other characters from book 1!!

I love that this is still a fun, sweet romance but one that also tackles deeper issues and has a lot of character growth. The dark topics like abuse and sexual assault were handled with care and made me feel seen/understood ❤️

The best part of Klassen’s books, including BMU, is no third act breakups or miscommunication!! 

The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is I personally didn’t love Wyatt as a romantic lead simply because he’s not my type 🙊 the backward hat wearing and guitar playing isn’t my thing but I loved him for Whitney and know plenty of other people will love him too! It’s funny because I loved him as a side character in book 1 but I just had a hard time loving him as a romantic interest due to personal preference.

Overall I loved this book and would highly recommend if you want a sweet romance that breaks generational curses/trauma, found family, or want the ‘he falls first’ trope!
