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!

The characters in this book are what make it so highly consumable. I do think it was a little long (450-ish pages), but I stayed up late more than once to keep reading. There were also some imperfections in the writing that distracted me on multiple occasions, and the spicy scenes…were VERY spicy. Could have done without a couple of them (and the domineering attitude of the MMC)but to each their own. Gave this 4.5 stars because while those things weren’t my cup of tea, the relationship between the main characters made up for a lot.

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

-`♡´- Ford was a great MMC, he talked about and showed his feelings and even though he was "muscular, strong, tall, etc." he wasn't the typical MMC
-`♡´- The small town, lakeside and forest setting was amazing, felt so cozy!
-`♡´- The best thing about this book? 100% the banter and the teasing. Elsie Silver's writing is so funny, the amount of times I audibly laughed out loud bc of the e-mails?? omg
-`♡´- Cora just gave it so much more, I know a lot of people dislike having children in books, but sometimes I love it and this was done really well! Cora won over my heart right away
-`♡´- The tension between Rosie and Ford was kept really high
There have been some things I would have definitely changed about this book though:
- I got so annoyed with Ford because he said Rosie's name in every friggin sentence, like damn
- The smut was amazing BUT towards the end there was sooo much smut and their connection stepped in the background, which was sadly turning me off
- This whole book would've been much better if it was 100 pages shorter. It could've ended right there and then but somehow Elsie Silver just kept going and I was like why?
- The third act breakup was horrendous, it was so unnecessary and it totally ruined the ending for me, I pretty much skimmed that whole part since it annoyed me so much.
Nonetheless I immediately went ahead and pre-ordered Wild Eyes and I'm excited to see where it's going to go, since this was my first Elsie Silver book and I'm pretty impressed!
