I read this book in two sittings. I just couldn't put it down!

Avery has a secret, and while I had correctly guessed what the secret was I was INVESTED. Sometimes guessing correctly can feel like a bummer, but not in this case for me. I was on the edge of my seat just waiting for the news to drop. When it inevitably was revealed, I was a bit disappointed in Matt's reaction and that whole scene (it just felt a bit expected and not 100% who Matt is) but it does not deter the 4 stars I give this book.

I loved it, and would definitely recommend the book and author to others.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The story moved in weird chunks to me, and I got really confused on the timeline a few times. It felt slow, but then all of a sudden we'd be at a new day and I didn't understand how we got from point A to B. Also, I never truly believed with my soul that these two fell head over heels for each other. It was enough to keep my interest and I read the whole book, but I just didn't connect deep with it or the two main characters.

Tessa Bailey sure knows how to write a steamy scene, and this book is no different. This was a re-read for me and it was just as much fun the second time.

I wanted to love this so hard that I read it twice, but I just LIKED it. Honestly, the bonus scene in the back with Fox and Hannah was almost more fun for me. (I love me a friends to lovers!)

The book tried to make Piper this sparkling goddess that everyone loves, but I just couldn't connect with her. I never fell in love with her.

There's a good amount of spice and steam in the book, it is Tessa Bailey after all!

Overall, I liked the book but I'm not swooning.

A sweet quick read. My favorite movie is You've Got Mail, so I feel wildly biased in loving this book. It made me feel all gooey and nostalgic.

There's so much to this book, and it's different from my normal romance reads. It's heavy and sad, but also beautiful. This book deserves a second read just to grasp onto all it offers.

I read this book looking for something to help me hold onto the euphoria I felt while reading Red, White, and Royal Blue over and over. While this book was great unto its own, I definitely held a bias against it not being my most favorite book. I am the villain here and shall commit to a re-read of this book so that I can better judge it by its own merrits.

FYI - While the tension is there the true spice is not.
