I absolutely loved this book! Ren is such a sweetheart with a heart of gold, and I love how we got to see Frankie battling through her inner thoughts, loving herself, and learning to accept love from others.

My only thing is that, while I loved reading about all their moments together, I would have loved to have seen how they navigated their relationship while at work once they got together. The stolen glances, lingering looks, trying to figure out how to be around each other in a professional setting. Otherwise, loved it!

This is the best of the Bergman Brothers books so far! I saw so much of myself in Ren, so it was fun watching him fall in love. I loved how sweet and patient he was with Frankie, especially in the end when they had their misunderstanding. I’m definitely going to keep reading this series. And I’ll probably keep reading it out of order haha

I wonder if I’m going to love all of the Bergman brothers as much as Ryder and Ren. Cause they’re pretty amazing! This one has grumpy sunshine, guy pining for her, closet theatre geek, and many Sense and Sensibility references which made my heart so happy. There’s only one little thing I didn’t care for (just a personal preference) but it didn’t hurt the story for the most part. And as always there was great neurodivergant and disability rep. Chloe really does it the best!  Overall, I loved  it!

0 stars!

Chloe Liese, your plots and characters were always cringe, and you don't have talent in writing, now you're also a hypocritical cowardly person who pick and choose which humanitarian crisis made more sense to you? FUCK YOU!

Stupid-ugly-ass-fuck-of-a-white-privileged-Zionist-supporting author. You want to call out ableism but draw the line at calling Zionist ugly and stupid, while never speaking up about the genocide of Jewish, Muslims, Christians, Atheist, Theist Palestinians? FUCK YOU! White women are just always so fucking disappointing. #FreePalestine 

For anybody who didn't know, look up Chloe Liese, Sierra Simone, and Zachary Webber issue on social media. Allegedly, Zachary Webber (an audiobook narrator) called out Zionists, and these two cowardly authors were cancelling him just because he called those ugly stupid ass Zionists what they are: stupid and motherfucking ugly. If that was me, i would've called them disgusting and more too. 

CHLOE LIESE IF YOU'RE READING THIS DON'T EVEN FUCKING TURN THIS INTO A MISOGYNY ISSUE. THIS IS A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS ISSUE, DUMBASS. LEBANON WAS FUCKING BOMBED JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, DON'T EVEN MAKE THIS ABOUT YOU. CALLING AUTHORS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY! BOYCOTT HER! 

#FreePalestine #FuckZionists.

And to think that this issue literally still happened after 12 months and DECADES of being shown the atrocious ethnic cleansing of Palestinians on social media, and the bombing of Lebanon just this September 2024? HOLD THIS MOTHERFUCKING AUTHOR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF HER STUPID FUCKING MOUTH.

Fuck Chloe Liese. #Boycott #FreePalestine

A sunshine hero and a grumpy heroine? Amazing. There were times where I had to take breaks because it was too stinkin’ cute.

Their ridiculous nicknames for each other made me laugh out loud. Ren’s attentiveness was swoon-worthy. Frankie was strong to begin with but her character development was just wonderful.

It just made me so so happy! I even predicted this would be a five-star read about halfway through.
