I never would have known or heard about this book if it weren’t for booksta. And y’all, I would have been missing out! I didn’t know what to expect going in since there wasn’t much of a description for it. But it was such a heartbreaking and beautiful story. I will say, Ben started out as a real piece of work😅. I can’t wait to check out the next book in this series!
Here are a few things to note:
- MCs: Ben & Kyle
- Second chance love
- Double POVs (my favorite)
- Sunny vs Grumpy (VERY heavy on the grumpy)
- Enemies to lovers
- Small town romance
- SPICY spicy
- PLEASE check content warnings for this one. There was one thing that I didn’t see coming and wished I had known beforehand to mentally prepare.

This moment right here, was everything the last several months had been leading up to you. Hurting, but still able to laugh through it. Exhausted, but ready to see what was next. Grieving… But finally able to see the possibility of something else on the horizon.
“It wasn’t stupid. It was… grief. It’s a complex thing.”
