Absolutely loved this one!
Greyson & Fallon have been (secret) best friends for years and when Fallon's (ex-) fiance totally screws things over with her, she calls Grey on her way to the airport. Destination? Europe & lots of romantic revelations...
I love myself a good (road)trip story, it just sets such a good frame for the plot. At first, I was a bit hesitant about why Grey & Fallon hadn't just gotten over their asses and fucked already like ten years ago but through reading and getting to know them and their characters better, it started to make sense.
Fallon has to deal with her ex and all he did and while this was not exactly romantic, it was so well written that I needed to mention it! He's destroyed a lot of her confidence & really betrayed her trust but the gaslighting was so good that you could really understand her hesitance about cutting him off for good. A+ writing!
Grey is so passionate about his music and Fallon helps him reconnect with it after a writer's block and that was so sweet to see. The scene where he shows her the result of that was definitely one of my favourites 🤫
Even though this was childhood-best-friends-to-lovers and a lot of the platonic relationship was already established, there was still so much development to be had on the romantic side and it all felt really natural. I love childhood-friends-to-lovers especially because of that, all those insta-lovey moments in so many romances seem all that more believable.
Honestly, gotta say this whole series feels like a love letter to the Fritzes and I know I'm not complaining 😍 I missed those guys! And I'm so so excited to get to see a grown-up Layla in the next book (+ Stella too, please, I love those girls <3)
