Well damn, what a man Eli Mora ๐ฅฒ
Iโm a sucker for second chance romance so itโs not surprise at all that I loved this book ๐ although I have to confess that for me it was not at the level of You, with a View.. but thatโs just me and my highest hopes ๐ฅฒ
Now letโs get to the point. The plot? Really good. The pace? Freaking good. The chemistry? Top level.
We have glimpses of the past, we have a front row view of the development of the current relationship.
Eli and Georgia, my dear, beautiful characters.. I loved you both so much, what a couple, they just feel so real, and theyโre so relatable.. thereโs a lot of self issues in both of them, and to see how they heal? I cried.
They are so vulnerable and the connection between them is so so beautiful to see.
And. AND. We have a love language that is SO. FREAKING. WONDERFUL. I mean.. PAPER RINGS? I died. RIP me.
Jessicaโs writing.. once again is so beautiful, itโs clear that she puts so much love into her work and that shows in every single page. She finds the way of mix romance, with depth feelings, and struggles, and comedy in such a beautiful way, Iโm so stunned, thank you for the love you put into words Jessica ๐ค

Excuse me but WHAT?!?
Holy mother..
Everything I could have asked Liz to put into this book she did. This was everything I was hoping for AND MORE!! Thank you Liz ๐ญ
Oh now I 100% get Melissaโs decision when she said that Isaiah was her new favorite of the series because DAMN that man really is A MAN! I couldnโt agree more about him becoming the top favorite character of the Windy City Series.
Isaiah Rhodes, oh I dream about men like you!! How can someone be so damn cute and extremely hot at the same freaking time? I donโt know but you are the definition of it now. Sweet Jesus knows I fell for that man at the very first page, I couldnโt get enough.
And donโt even get me started with Kennedy, oh dear Ken you are probably THE best female character Iโve read about this year so far. So funny without even trying, so strong, so talented, so wonderful. I had a blast with your story.
Now letโs talk about the romance, holy shit this was EVERYTHING. Iโm not even joking when I tell you guys I was obsessed (wink wink) with this couple, and itโs not even a surprise for me seeing that I was already excited to read their story when I read Caught Up on January. Thereโs just something about Isaiah and Kennedy that you canโt get enough of them together. They are a super cute, super funny, and super hot couple but most of all super supportive. Itโs so magical to watch them falling in love with each other.
Isaiah Rhodes you 100% knew what you wanted and BOY YOU GOT HER!! (I wholeheartedly believe that So High School was made for Isaiah and Kennedy, period)
We donโt have a third act breakup here and I LOVE that, thank you again Liz.
No need to say that this is absolutely my favorite book of the series (SO sorry Daddy Kai ๐ญ)

Okay, wow, okay.
This was something.. First things first I absolutely adored Anna, she was so funny and so down to earth ๐ซถ๐ป
We have a fake marriage (not even knowing each other kind of thing) going straight into a family wedding on an Island FOR TWELVE DAYS with every single family member believing theyโve been married for the past 4 and a half years, what could possibly go wrong?!?
It was pure chaos.
Annaโs personality is so chaotic, and West is so serious, and so lovely and honestly.. what a man. It was so cute to see Anna and Westโs relationship develop through the days. The way he supports her work, and encourages her.. ๐ฅฒ๐ซถ๐ป
And Blaire?!? ๐๐ god she was probably my favorite character, even tho we donโt see much of her.
Now, what I didnโt liked so much was the toxicity of everything, I mean a girl can only tolerate so much.. I understand that thatโs the freaking point of the book but it became so repetitive and I was really tired of it ๐ฅด
But overall it was good ๐ฌ

HOW COME ASHLEY ALWAAAYS END UP MAKING ME CRY LIKE A BABY?!?
Oh. My. God.
This blew my mind ๐คฏ in the very best kind of way. This story was so beautiful!!
I canโt even describe to you guys what I felt, Iโm just so happy, thank you Ashley.
I read the blurb when it was first posted, and I just knew (after reading The Seven Year Slip last year) that I would read anything Ashley put out in the world. Sheโs just a one of a kind writer. But on Monday when I decided to start with this book, I couldnโt remember much about the blurb and I just didnโt wanted to give myself a clue, I wanted this book to be a surprise for me.. and hell it was ๐ฅน
So wonderfully written, with characters that felt too much real to me, with so many beautiful messages. Itโs honestly fantastic ๐
Itโs so unique, and thereโs so many little details you have to look at closely. And also, the references to the other two books by Ashley? Loved it ๐ฅน๐ซถ๐ป
There are like 30 quotes I absolutely adored and was dying to put on the picture but Iโll just let you with that one so yโall can enjoy them the first time you read them ๐ฉท

It started so good, I was completely okay and I even liked it.. and then it all went to shit.
๐ฅฒ I struggled so much with the second half of the book, it all became too much for me, it was just a lot of sex and nothing more and it was honestly pretty boring. I tell you: I read the first half in two days and the second half took me TWO WEEKS. I couldnโt DNF the book tho, I owed the book a chance.
๐ท But letโs focus on the positives: this is a forced proximity well performed. The banter was really good, and I liked the tiny bit of fake dating. Thereโs a lot of cute nicknames (flowers to be precise). And you get to see a huge lovely family for a bit too.
I really tried to like this book, but it just wasnโt made for me I think..

Iโm pretty sure Miles Nowak is the best boyfriend Emily has ever written. Heโs the absolute best, so freaking cute, so thoughtful, so caring, so selfless, so lovable!! ๐ญโค๏ธโ๐ฉน
I was hooked since the first page with this book, which is a lot considering that Iโm always afraid to read Emilyโs books ๐
But this book.. I feel like it was a bit different from all of her works. It was actually a bit funny, but what I personally loved the most was that both of the main characters knew each other so well, they fitted so well. They were so mature and god I love to read that.
It was really cute to read how they evolved into the beautiful relationship they ended up having.
This book leaves you with a lot of beautiful quotes, and Iโm gonna convince you to read it with a few of them that I really liked ๐คญ๐ซถ๐ป

Is there any way I can give this book 6 stars? ๐ญโค๏ธโ๐ฉน
An absolute masterpiece.
Gonna start by saying that I did not saw that coming. I was not expecting this book to be what it is, I was expecting something completely different because Unexpected Pregnancy is mostly always a topic handled awfully badly.. And I was so afraid to read this book because of that, BUT WOW ๐คฏ I now cannot believe I spend so long without reading this wonderful book!! ๐ญ๐ญ
Every single thing is handled with so much love and care and itโs so beautifully written and you canโt actually make me hate this one bit.
โค๏ธโ๐ฉน The relationship: The amount of attention and love and appreciation and support that Bo showed to Win? Let me tell you I cried, A LOT. Itโs so cute to see every bit of the relationship developing in baby steps, Iโm obsessed.
๐ซ The friendship: Sarah was SO lovely!! It melted my heart when she did the worst case scenario for Win, I even might start doing that too ๐ฅน
๐ท The story: So heartwarming, so down to earth, so real, so emotional and beautiful. I was hooked since the first page. Not many books had that power over me, thatโs a lot.
๐ Youโll find me recommending this book to anyone who havenโt read it yet, bet on it.

This was so funny! Iโm gonna start saying that I LOVED the ballroom dancing and them training together ๐ฅน๐ซถ๐ป
Elle just knows how to write a college themed book. The banter? The chemistry? Top level ๐ฅต
The HOA meetings?!? The group chat?? ๐๐ Oh god I laughed a lot (shootout to Niall)
Seriously, this was well written, itโs funny, itโs cute, itโs even sad at some point, itโs so encouraging too (no spoilers needed). The characters were on point, the cameos from the Off Campus Series were so funny. Everything about how these two worlds connect is so well written.
And I really enjoyed the pace of this one, it wasnโt so slow but also everything wasnโt developing very fast, so you could really see how the relationship between Diana and Shane started to build up ๐ซถ๐ป
Itโs a nice choice to get out of a slump if you ask me ๐ฅฐ

What the hell Iโm still crying ๐ญ
This book was so good, I canโt actually believe I spent so many years without reading it!!
The plot, the characters, the story, the dual timeline, THE TWIST. Fuck I cried so much ๐ญ
I was on the edge biting my nails, I just wanted them to be happy and to be together again, I was obsessed for 48 hours straight to be honest with you guys.
The story is so beautiful written, everything is so wonderfully executed, this is officially a lifetime favorite. Can you blame me?? Iโm a sucker for second chance romance ๐ฉโค๏ธโ๐ฉน
The only thing I didnโt liked much was that the thing that is revealed at the end that happened to our dear Elliot is not talked enough. I mean, is a serious situation and it didnโt get the needed attention from my point of view.. (I donโt want to spoil anything so thatโs all Iโm gonna say) And thatโs the only reason why this isnโt an absolute 5 stars for me.
Apart from that, I loved it. All of it. Loved the message that the story leaves
โI want us to move past this closetโ fuck thatโs so metaphorically beautiful.

You should know by know guys that I do take your reviews seriously ๐๐คญ
This oneโs cool, Rhode (mmc) is such a great man, he was like a playboy and now heโs reformed. We love him for that. He already knows what he wants and hell I love that!
Nina is a pretty cool fmc too, FINALLY I read a book that includes pottery (I mean is such a hot topic and everyone ignores it ๐๐ญ).
The age gap is huge, and damn I wanted to throw a shoe to Rhode every time he brought that up. But clearly they make it work ๐
I absolutely loved that both Nina and Rhode supported each other so much, they encouraged one another all the time and that was really so cute to read. My favorite conversations by far when they appreciate each otherโs work and talent โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
I personally didnโt loveeed the book, but I liked it and thatโs enough. And Iโm obsessed with hockey romance so ๐คญ
