I absolutely adored this. I can't decide if this or Pumpkin Spice is my favorite book in the series so far! I liked Kira too, especially once she started letting her guard down a little and we saw more of her personality shine through, but Bennett really stole the show for me. I related SO much to his need to feel useful and his tendency to let the people he cares about stomp all over his boundaries (or, more accurately, his tendency not to establish boundaries at all because he just wants everyone to be happy and doesn't always even realize he's put himself last again).

Also, the doggo love? Everything! I can't even tell you how many times I had to go find my Echo and give her some cuddles while listening to this because Laurie Gilmore is just so good at putting those pet-loving feels into words. ♥️
