3🌶️ This was a fun read as always with Meghan Quinn! Love the tangled web of character connections and how they unravel. Even the side character cracked me up. I thought this was a great enemies to lovers especially with it being her brothers enemy really. The age gap really helped show Hattie's family loyalty too since the conflict between her brother and Hayes happened when she was younger and didn't know details. I thought the 3rd act breakup was unnecessary tbh but that would be my only complaint.

I loved this a lot. I loved the story, I loved the exploration of grief and I love a tortured soul. I adored Hattie and I loved the way she got closure from her sister, eventually. Could this have been a little shorter? Yes. I’m not sure we needed over 500 pages. Still a good read!

DNF at 75%. Frankly, I’m impressed with myself that I made it this far. I usually enjoy MQ books, but this was just … not good. Hayes is supposed to be a significant amount of years older than Hattie and acts like he’s a college freshman. This book would’ve been better as a healing journey for Hattie and her family.

As always Megan Quinn wrote another amazing book. This book had mu emotions all over the place. From laughing out loud, to fanning myself, and even crying. This book does deal with some heavy elements but was an absolute rollercoaster of a ride. I will say I felt like this book hit a natural end for me at 65%  so I was on the edge of my seat the remainder of the book.
