Weirdly graphic at points, cute but lacking in substance.

Lark, a vibrant animator from Texas, relocates to Galway on a work visa, hoping to heal from a recent loss. There, she meets her new neighbor, Callum—a mortician on a mission to marry before his 35th birthday to keep the family business. On the surface, they seem like polar opposites, but their connection runs far deeper than anyone could imagine.

As soon as I was approved for this ARC, it went straight to the top of my TBR. This story beautifully illustrates how opposites not only attract but also complement and uplift each other. Lark may have her stubborn moments, but the dynamic between her and Callum is captivating and wholesome. She helps lift his spirits, while he grounds her, making them seem like two perfect halves of a whole. I loved every moment of this story and couldn't put my kindle down until I finished.
Fingers crossed the next book in the series is Cielo and Aidan!!


Thank you NetGalley, Ivy Fairbanks and Penguin Group PUTNAM for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was so intrigued by the premise of this book and wasn't disappointed! I really loved how bright and bubbly Lark brought out a lighter side in Callum, and how he in turn grounded her. I really enjoyed watching how naturally their chemistry unfolded and grew from friendship to something more.

My one big complaint about the book would have to be the pacing. While I felt like the first part of the book leading up to them getting together was really well done, the ending felt a bit rushed--
especially after what I considered to be an unnecessary third-act breakup. I also didn't *love* some of the miscommunication that happened towards the end.


In the end, though, this was a really fun read that also had some depth to it (I even found myself tearing up at one point!) and I can't wait to read more Ivy Fairbanks books in the future!.

Thank you to Ivy Fairbanks and Booksprout for providing an advanced review copy of this book.
