I knew this book was friends to lovers, but since reading the first one I had forgotten about Fox’s main plot point being that he’s a manwhore. Seeing him unpack that especially with the help of Hannah was so interesting & well done. Not something I’ve ever had be a main plot point in a book I’ve read. That was probably my favorite part of the book. 

Friends to Lovers, Mutual Pining, Kind of Fake Dating, 3 🔥

This was such a good and fun read! I liked this more than It Happened One Summer simply because I liked these characters so much more. They were more... relatable to me than Piper and Brendan. I loved that it was about them figuring themselves out - together. They both helped each other find who they are. I really liked Hannah's character, and Fox is so great! Although the name 😅

I am finding that I like Tessa Bailey's characters and stories and I'm glad Fox at least used the nickname of "Freckles" because I'm still not a fan of the "baby" pet name 🙈

Sweet. Sentimental. Not a lot of spice but the parts that are spicy are exceptionally well written. Grumpy sunshine meets friends to lovers meets taboo sexual encounter. Exactly what you want a romcom novel to be.
