If I could rate this book only by the first half, it’s an easy 5 star read. I loved the characters, tension, and backstory. I even loved how obvious the Ted Lasso references are. But the second-half follow through? Knocked this down 2 whole stars. There wasn’t enough conflict because there was no real character growth — just several paragraphs saying over and over again how they’d grown. The only big moment of true resolution is done in a few paragraphs. The rest of the obvious issues to worth through? Ignored or abruptly wrapped up. Hundreds of pages resorted to overdone romance tropes instead of utilizing the real potential this book had.

saying that Pippa’s bad breakup and self-healing journey of fucking a hockey player was remotely the same as the loss of a spouse and a life-long battle with anxiety and depression was an INSANE take

Loved the writing style and spice. The characters were sweet and I could relate to a lot of their experiences. I love a grumpy sunshine. The tension was written really well. It was a lighthearted easy-read. No big plot twists or massive hurdles but I still really enjoyed it. I will read the next one

which I imagine is Hazel and Rory’s book. Also, the way that Jamie described Pippa throughout, but especially towards the end of the book, was everything!
