Why did I put off reading this for so long? This book was amazing. The friends to lovers trope is a favorite of mine because friendship is such an important quality in a relationship. I love how well Niko and Vivi already knew each other and how seamlessly they became lovers.

This book does have some pretty tough triggers, but they were handled so well and I thought both of their pasts really shaped who they were as individuals and really strengthened their love. I love how even as kids they were always there for the important albeit difficult moments for each other.

I love reading about small towns. The love and togetherness of the people is so neat - but I'll let those stay fiction. I am a city girl through and through.

I love how Pavlov weaved in some suspense and mystery. It added to the plot perfectly. I absolutely can't wait to start book 2.
