This was so good at the beginning and I loved reading about a chronically ill FMC but damn, that got messy so quickly 🙃 I want other chronically ill girlies who are hoping for some proper rep to know what that rep entails. Take care of yourselves 🫶🏻

TW: Abuse of power by a doctor, doctor x former patient (she's 18), grooming by a doctor

Turns out her pos ex Rob was the surgeon who operated on her when she was a young teenager (!!) and then started hooking up with her when she turned eighteen. Oh, and he's also married to her sister. Summer straight up says that Rob groomed her (yeah that's obvious) but she's kept his secret so long that she's even let her sister marry him and she still doesn't want to tell anyone because "he's obviously good at what he does". Man, idgaf how good of a surgeon he is, that is a straight up predator who works in pediatrics. This was all just treated as some ✨dramatic✨ subplot and not treated with nearly the decency and respect it deserved. I'll probably check out the other books after a bit of time because damn, this left a bad taste in my mouth 🤢

(All of this also puts a quote we get pretty early on into a completely different light: "My ex, Rob, put my heart back together and then tore it to shreds. I wish I could say I hate him. I should hate him. But it’s hard to extricate myself from him. There’s something intensely personal about letting someone inside your body that way." bc you know...he had his hands literally on her heart...inside her body...when she was a teenager...because he operated on her...)

For the first book of the Chestnut Springs series this book did not disappoint. It's everything you want from a small town sport romance. Also fair warning it also kinda makes you slightly interested in bull riding. (Just a little). You won't get it now but once you read it, you'll get it. Rhett will make you swoon, feel sorry for him and feel happy for him all at the same time. Also we love Summer. Having a strong, witty female character that can hold her own makes it so much better. Yes this book is a romance but I love the fact that it's not really the main plot of book. The book is about them but it also goes further than them. The trauma that each of them have makes you empathetic towards them both but makes you proud of how they overcome their fears and trauma. It really focuses on the important values in life and makes you think if what you are doing right now in life is what you really want to do. At some parts the book becomes heavy and full of emotion but the comedic element and snarky remarks help lighten the mood a lot. If you are looking for a new series to start, or you just want to read this as a stand alone. I would one hundred percent recommend 'Flawless'.
