To say I wasn’t prepared for this book is an understatement.
I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. I definitely wasn’t expecting for it to still my heart either.
Greta & Otis are everything.
It’s funny bc I didn’t realize the chokehold they had on me til I finished the book. Like I had no idea what to with myself after I finished that epilogue. Literally no clue.
At first I was worried bc they’re emotional connection was definitely a slow burn. I’m someone that needs to feel that strong connection between the characters, in order to fully enjoy the story. So I was very hesitant when that wasn’t being delivered initially. But the beauty of Greta & Otis’ relationship is that it’s gradual. As the reader, you get to see all the ways they’re similar before they open up to each other. So even though they weren’t actually sharing intimate information with each other you could see how perfect they were for one another.
They’re playful banter was so fun. The way they just got each other of the bat * squeals just thinking about it*. They’re chemistry is truly unmatched!
They were constantly towing the line of “more than friends less lovers” & I loved every bit of it.
I loved how we also focused on their individual growth. Because they both had toxic attributes that they would sometimes take out on each other. So their break was definitely necessary. I loved how we got intimate look on that journey as well.
Otis. OH MY GOSH. He was such a refreshing mmc to read about. He didn’t have that toxic masculinity mindset. He is the definition of boy obsessed. And he wasn’t ashamed admit it. Yes, he had his moments but for the most part he’s was absolutely swoon worthy. From his cooking & cleaning to being so down to do whatever Greta wanted. Ultimately he just wanted to be around her.
& Greta!!! IM OBSESSED. I love that girl so much. She just has “that’s my girl” energy (iykyk). She’s such a complex character. I loved getting to peel back all those layers. Greta has very nonchalant attitude but she’s someone that feels so deeply. She cares so much about the people in her close knit circle. She’s was just hurting...(ahhh not me tearing up). I actually related to her a lot - which is probably why she means so much to me. I mentioned this before but her healing journey specially hit hard. I was a mess by the end of the book. No literally I couldn’t stop crying. I had to take a break from reading. It was painful to read but incredibly beautiful.
I genuinely believe that everyone needs to read this book. It’s flirty and fun but emotional and impactful. Greta & Otis will stick with me forever 🤍
