*no spoilers*
I may have cried a bit in some places in this book. The romance is so heartwrenching and lovely. It’s kind of a slow-burn romance — not something I particularly like, but as the whole thing is told in various new year’s eves in a span of 18 years, it was more my taste. There’s lots of yearning — totally my jam— that is just so pure and exquisite. Candace and Ezra are well-rounded characters, and I couldn’t help rooting for them both.
(I got an ARC from the author, no strings attached.)
Content Warnings:
parental sickness (cancer, diabetes, hypertension)

This book had me in my feelings. I wanted to shake both characters so many different times during the story.
I said four stars at first but upped it to five because the book is still kinda sitting with me in my brain.
Great frustrated love story.

Just excellent. The back and forth, the longing, the yearning *sighs* cannot recommend this book enough! Fair warning, though, that both characters will irk you with their naivety!! But so worth the slow burn. This friends to lovers romance is unique in its timeline structure and that the physical connection is already established. This is more about learning the words to communicate how you feel and giving yourself the credit that yes, you are worthy of love and yes, this amazing person you put on a pedestal returns the feelings.
Can’t wait for the next installment of Katrina’s Love at Last series!
