I was weak for the groveling and second chance type of aspect in this however it was hard for me to move on from what Seth did even if it was a high school mistake he regrets I held a grudge for Cassie lol. There were good parts and I loved the paranormal aspect of this. I liked the audiobook as well I just wish there wasn't what I call a silly reason for him to do what he did to her because that would have been traumatic for any teenager...

The production on this was amazing I love when audiobooks are like movies with sound effects and such. I wished this was longer but it was very detailed and finished nicely, I just could have read a lot more of their romance journey!

I really enjoyed this opposites attract story. I loved their push and pull, especially in the idea that it was Aaliyah coming out of her shell. I also adored the way Aaliyah's protectivness of Von's daughter, the scenes in the principal office had me yelling in support at my kindle lol.

The ending of this was good because I love a group epilogue and I liked the letters and how they came back together but this one fell flat for me similar to book 2, this one was more interesting than 2 but nothing compares to Rowan and Sloane for me I guess

This was a slow-burn between childhood friends who have always felt a little something for each other but one of them is not confident in taking that step. After years apart that spark is still there and we get to see what they are going to do about it. I found myself a little unengaged at times with the writing but I appreciated the story of growth that Avila went through. Personally the walls she put in and how she reacted to Terrance trying to love her at times was tough for me because it felt like we only got the surface level stuff of their romance. I loved that she ended up getting back into a job ina field that she has long since thought was no longer for her, a great example of dreams changing but not having to be given up.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

"I am scared. but you...you make me feel like I don't have to be."

I am going to need Ki to write my personal love story into existence because I continue to be obsessed with her stories of the SOFTEST, SWEETEST, HONEST love ever. The way that Liam and Birdie built their relationship from a friends-to-lovers standpoint was everything to me, their foundation of trust, safety, and overall friendship created such a gorgeous love story that I was a puddle on the floor by the end of it.

Ki is always going to write two softies who just want someone to see all of them and accept/love them for who they are and Birdie and Liam are prime examples of that. I fell in love with Birdie so fast. I understood her and was rooting for her unlike any fmc Ki has written to date. Liam was such a good friend and person, I adored the way that Birdie showed him the love he was missing, they just fit so well together that I was a soft mushy mess.

This continues to be my favorite series from Ki, each book is somehow better than the last. Ki's writing is captivating, honest and so full of soft love that I am never going to tire of it.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
