Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes: Single dad, she falls first but he falls harder
3rd Act Breakup?: Nope
Final Thoughts: I loved this. It’s up there with Juniper Hill for my favorite Edens book, which is saying something since Juniper Hill is one of my favorite books in general. Mateo was so sweet and the moments with Vera & Allie were adorable. I also really loved Vera’s relationship with Harrison & Anne and how they took her in as their own 🥹 The lack of a third act breakup was also great. Overall, it kept me glued to the page, giggling and crying and I loved every minute of it.

Everyone drew closer to him, like he was a magnet and they were metal.
“Light follows him. It’s always sunny when he’s around.”
It felt like someone had slipped glasses on my face. And that someone had given me permission to see.
Then I held on to her. There wasn’t much else to say, not until I could puzzle it all out in my head, so I just held on to her. Tight enough that maybe the next time she thought about going it alone, she’d remember there was no need.
