laurenb1917's review against another edition
4.5
This book exceeded my expectations!! I truly went in thinking it couldn’t be as good as people were making it out to be, but I truly loved this book.
The characters were incredible. Ford is swoon worthy. Rosie is an independent bad ass woman. Cora is the only kid I’d ever want to have. West is the best friend/brother.
I think the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because I felt like it drug on a bit towards the end so I started skimming the last 30 ish pages. Still a great book!

i don’t really wanna talk about the couple as they were so unnecessarily complicated (and boring) so these stars are for cora holland and the side characters only

Elsie Silver can do no wrong! Rosie and Ford are yet another perfect couple! They had such great chemistry, right from the beginning from knowing each other for so long! I love a good brother’s bestie, but I also loved how this felt more like traditional friends to lovers! It gave them such a strong foundation!
This book did give me a whiplash of emotions because both Rosie and Ford start the book off in tough situations. But I love how both of them grew from those situations.
I really liked the addition of Cora! While I already like a good single dad trope, I really liked this twist of her not previously being in his life! She was also just really funny!
For me, something was just missing in this book that I’ve never experienced with one of Elsie Silver’s books. I just didn’t connect to it the same way. Maybe it’s something about the first book in her series not being the best, but I just didn’t feel a connection to the characters like I normally do. I still highly recommend this book, I just wanted to point out that something felt off…
I’m also really really excited for West’s book!
Thank you so so so much to Elsie Silver, NetGalley, and Sourcebooks for providing me access to this book!
