“Hidden…identity…” She underlines it three times. “I love this trope.”

the hidden identity trope in this was alright but what really made this book more captivating was the single parent trope as that one always eats

The characters and the story itself were great. The book really needed more editing. It was about 1/4 too long and the monologues became torturous to get through. I also don’t really buy that the FMC as she’s presented would do the insta family thing with her kid so quickly. And in general, I just can’t stand the trope of a woman who needs a man to heal her body issues.

Some heavy topics, but as a vet tech who works in specialty and ER medicine, I really connected with Rosie. There are some triggering themes that might be hard for some but rest assured, the tears in the end are only happy ones.

Holy smokes. What a joy. What a rollercoaster. Unravel Me is heart-wrenching and sexy and so hopeful. Rosie and Adam’s love story is one for the ages. After both having their hearts broken in many different ways and neither of them feeling like they could ever be enough, fate bringing them together warmed my soul to its core.

Was the plot predictable? Absolutely. Did that make it any less charming? Absolutely not.

I adore this book. I adore Adam and Rosie. The best of the series so far.

I think this was the worst written book I have ever read. The .25 for for like 5 funny lines but other than that there was nothing else to smile about. The whole story is some weird author wish fulfilment with the mmc being a vet in training and the whole theme of dogs. The plot moves too fast, the main female character might as well been an invertebrates the way she has no backbone. And don't get me started between the overly gratuitous sex scenes the long Shakespeare like soliloquy of the characters always saying the perfectthing at the right time blah blah blah. Save yourself 400 odd pages and part of what could have been a beautiful tree and don't read this there's a reason it was published by amazon
