POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD
This book makes me believe that you CAN show characters falling in love instead of just telling us they love each other. That is one of my BIGGEST complaints with romance books, the author will write it in a way where the characters “love each other” but not show us how they got there. Over a month or so of existing near each other where we only see them interacting a few times makes it hard to believe. but this book to me at least seems to take a span of like 2-3 months and yes we don’t see the whole time but it goes from around June /July to September at least I’m pretty sure but i might be wrong
Books like, icebreaker, a million kisses in your lifetime, the flatshare(a better love is blind tbh), all rhodes lead here show the love growing between two characters well.
this has just turned into a rant about authors not showing how the character fall in love well which don’t get me wrong i do enjoy books that have that “problem” it’s just less believable.
okay anyway enjoyed this book idk if i enjoyed it more then That Kind of Guy but i will be reading in your dreams holden rhodes next i think so.

This book is my first and last (lol) 5-star romance of the year. I've read A LOT of romance books in 2022 and, even though most of the time I have a great time reading them, it is hard for me to fall in love with one. There's always something that doesn't do it for me or that throws me completely off at some point in the story. When I read That Kind Of Guy I thought "that might be it, 5 stars", but it didn't click. Although I have to say that I loved that book. After reading the sinopsis for this one, I had the feeling. Reading it was amazing, the overall message of the personal evolution of Hannah had me sobbing because I understood her so badly. The notion of being shy but still wanting to be SEEN... I think that might be me lmao. And Wyatt? omg, he was incredible and treated Hannah so right. Literally crying. They were the cutest couple. Besides, the side plots of the story were hilarious. However, I do have to day that the way Hannah dealt with the "changing the store" plot wasn't the best.
