Holy shit. HOLY SHIT!!

Shut the front door!! (I’m actually screaming rn)

This is it. This is what I mean when I say I want a romance, slow burn, single dad, NO THIRD ACT BREAKUPS, with a bit of spice, a bit of drama just the exact amount for it not to be too much, and a wonderful FMC development. THIS IS IT!!

I’m so in love with this book, so much it’s hurting my heart the fact that it’s over!!

AND WHY AM I USING SO MANY EXCLAMATION MARKS?!?

Damn. Everything is just freaking perfect, the plot, the setting, THE YEAR SETTING (I’m a 97’s baby so this was a hell yeah for me), the main characters, the side characters, THE DOG!! The humor?!? It’s so funny!! The evolution of the story, I mean.. can it honestly get better than this?

I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked this one up, but I’m so recommending this to you right now, you MUST read this book if you love romance books.
