5.0

• didn’t expect to love this so much, shocked I already have a 5 star read in the bag this year
• I adore Reed Eastwood so much, such a massive softie when it comes to our sunshine Charlotte but a grump with everyone else
• fulfilling a bucket list with the love interest has become a new favourite trope
• also adored Charlotte, she was super fun and clumsy but also a great companion for Reed
• loved that it had some great banter but also some wonderful serious moments, think the disability and medical topics were handled really well
• great tension, it’s not too high on the smut scale but I did appreciate that there was a solid build up in their relationship and some good depth and it wasn’t just smut for the sake of it
• I do wish they’d utilised her surname (darling) as a nickname more throughout the book, I’m a sucker for a sweet nickname
• I kinda wish we had a book following Max, I would love to see him settle down especially following his advice-giving conversation with Reed towards the end of the book

TWs: Cheating (before book), workplace sexual harassment, alcoholism, child abandonment, adoption, minor medical emergency, hospitalisation, multiple sclerosis, ableism, anxiety, PTSD, Crohn’s disease, death of mother (in book), depression
