I loved this book so hard! Harloe just keeps blowing me away. I loved how hard Nolan worked to win Clea's love. Single parent, neighbor romance. All the feels. Such a good book!

What an amazingly sweet, swoony, and deliciously sexy story- full of unrequited love charms, neighborly attraction, and the right dash of healing and angst. A new favorite from Harloe Rae!
One thing I always love about Harloe’s writing is how she takes a trope and makes it something more- infuses it with an emotional gravitas and sincerity of heart that makes each of her stories feel unique and special. Clea and Nolan’s story begins with the friends to lovers/unrequited love and single parent tint, but this story quickly becomes nothing other than Clea and Nolan’s- a story steeped so deeply in the beating of their hearts that you can’t help but fall along with them.
Nolan is a really compelling hero- a man mired in the complexities of his guilt and grief while trying to find hope in the now, if not for himself than for his daughter Tally. His journey is about balancing his heart and hurt- finding the courage to reach for love, not just for Tally but for himself. And Clea is a delightful heroine- sweet, loving, optimistic, the light to reinvigorate a once broken man. You root for her and her bleeding heart.
I just adore Harloe's writing style- with a lyrical tint, she delivers so much emotional intensity wrapped in beautifully articulated, emotively consuming prose. Her swoony stories are by far my favorites- and this one brings all the sweet sincerity and authentic charm. With likable characters with complex histories and a formidable chemistry between them, we have a story of two people figuring out how to perfectly fall together, to be exactly what the other needs. To fight for the love they can have now. A different journey for each, but one so perfect for them together. It's adorable, it's sexy, and gives me all the happy butterfly feels. There’s Always Someday is a feel good romance that reminds us just how hard, and how easy, healing and falling in love can be- and just how beautiful it is when you find that someday.

I really wanted to like this book because I love the single dad trope. But this book was so boring that I almost dnf’d it.
The first two chapters were fine but it just got worse and worse by every page.
The relationship between the two main characters felt so awkward. There was no chemistry and no dynamic between the two.
Both of the main characters were absolutely insufferable and annoying, especially the male main character. He literally neglected his own daughter and let his neighbour (the female mc) basically raise his child. And the way he gaslighted the female character… just no. And he had no character development throughout the book.
There is literally nothing likeable about any of the characters.
But the most annoying thing about the book has to be the daughter of the male main character. She ruined a lot of the scenes for me. I don’t know much about kids but I’m sure no 6 year old talks the way that girl talked.
Overall, this is a super boring book with annoying main characters that have zero chemistry. I should I have dnf’d this book.

There's Always Someday tells the story of Clea, who we've briefly met in both Leave Him Loved and Something Like Hate. Prior to the cover reveal and excerpt reveal, I didn't really know what to think about this upcoming release. But, once I saw the cover, I was hooked. (I mean... hello? Can you blame me?) And while the cover grabbed my attention, I knew I would love this story by a quote that was in the excerpt reveal. (see my blog post for the full quote- it's linked below!)
Nolan's daughter, Tally, is the unapologetic scene-stealer in There's Always Someday. This six year old has endless amounts of sass, and is leader of the Clea and Nolan shippers. She's blunt and literal in the way that only a child can be, and her loving bond with Clea drives the story forward. If only I had my own little matchmaker like Tally!
