📖
This was a cute book. I had a good time and I really liked it. I love a good grumpy/sunshine romance.

I put chronic illness, but it's really chronic pain (I think I've seen people differentiate the two, but please forgive me if I'm wrong).

Chloe Liese always hits with the representation in her books. Gavin's chronic pain and Oliver's anxiety are so well written in a real and respectful way. What was missing for me in this was Oliver's arc. Gavin is given so much space to grow, and I feel like Oliver doesn't get that. I would have loved to see more of him growing into his new position and building up confidence. Additionally, I felt that we never really see a resolution of Gavin's initial feelings towards Oliver, his resentment and jealousy just kind of go away over time and those feelings are never really addressed between the two of them.

Everything For You has been on my TBR for quite awhile so I was so excited when I finally got around to reading it! I enjoyed the beginning of the book, but the story ended up falling a bit flat for me in the end (unfortunately).

I just wanted more from this story and the characters. More discussions revolving around mental health, more romantic yearning from both parties, more conversations about their pasts, etc.

I wanted more romantic buildup between them as well. Oliver + Gavin didn’t make their deal until around the 60% mark — which was a bit late for my taste — but others might feel differently!
