"Glimmers of You" is a quick and cute read that brings warmth and charm to the table. Grae, the spunky and likable main character, shines brightly throughout the story. Her journey is made even more compelling by the inclusion of her type 1 diabetes, adding an important layer of chronic illness representation. Grae's determination to not let her condition hold her back is truly inspiring.

Having read the previous two books in this series, I found this one somewhat predictable as it follows a similar formula. However, the familiarity didn’t detract from the enjoyment. The book’s strengths lie in its character development and the lighthearted yet meaningful narrative.

In summary, "Glimmers of You" is an enjoyable addition to the series, offering a heartwarming story with a relatable and resilient protagonist. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll find Grae’s latest adventure both comforting and inspiring.

Another great CC romance! Grae and Caden are truly *it* for each other and it's so sweet to see them get their well-deserved happy end!

We see a lot of Grae learning to stand up for herself towards her parents and brothers and forcing them to realize that just because she's the youngest and she's chronically ill, that doesn't mean she's unable to care for herself. Love that for her!! Women with chronic illnesses can still have their fun and especially some sexy boyfriends 🤭

The suspense here felt much more small-town focused than it did in other books (if that makes sense??) but I really loved how it was done, the arson adds a different touch. I had my suspicions from the start and in the end I was right (😌) but just like the characters I managed to get wrapped up in other theories — always kept on my toes with these books!

Seeing Caden and his mum be fully accepted into the Hartley family was such a sweet thread throughout the book and so so adorable in the end.

Counting down the days till the next part! So excited 🥳
