Honestly didn’t love the FMC in this at all. Like I get your trauma but you’re kinda a brat. And not in the fun way. And I liked the MMC but I feel like we didn’t get enough of his story. We hit the high points but he was way more fascinating of a character than she was. If they would have spent less time shagging and more time actually bonding I would have liked it better. And I know a whole year had to pass because of the plot but the pacing was way off in my opinion.

Yara’s story is one of generational trauma, finding yourself, and breaking cycles. The story is gripping and emotional. Real and relatable but also inspiring and freeing. Beautiful writing.

SPICY AS FUCK 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 Holy cow! Ms. Ella really said let me be a ho ho ho for the holidays and man oh man did she make good on that promise. This had me putting down the book to cool off and also showing my partner for “educational” purposes 😉

Definitely had some good plot twists. I enjoyed the multiple POVs too. I think that added to the suspense aspect. Took a while to get the setup but loved the dual timelines too.

Just two people reminiscing about their childhood and they bang at the end. Maybe it was just because it was a novella but there wasn’t a plot. At all.

So cute! Silly circumstances and definitely felt a bit rushed because of it being a novella but I liked it a lot.
