SO GOOD

Was the ending a bit rushed? Yes. But did I enjoy the ride? Also yes.

Overall, this book is probably the best paced romantic book I’ve ever read. The storylines felt believable and refreshing, even through using tired out tropes.

The chemistry was just off the charts and I will definitely be reading this one again!

I gotta admit, I was very hesitant about this book in the first couple of chapters. But wow, did it get good! I did not expect to love the characters that much and the ending left me VERY warm and fuzzy. Booktok did not disappoint on this one :)

But I think I wanted more of Piper taking responsibility in the real world. She’s a very spoiled, privileged person who has to renovate a bar to face real-life problems, but we never got to see her face money issues. So she faced responsibility, but still on her dad’s coin, which wasn’t great. I would’ve liked to see her get a job and try to scrape pennies together.

Other than that, a very fun read that I couldn’t recommend more. Romance readers, don’t put this one off!
