THIS WAS SO GOOD!! why did i tear up several times?? anyways, this is my new fave book of morgan’s 🤭 i loved the twist on the ex bf’s trope bc they didn’t ever truly “date” but instead were great friends AND i loved that he was like pushing them together - it made me feel all warm inside istg. and the smut??? super hot and enjoyable, in true morgan elizabeth fashion 😌

Hmmm… yeah this book wasn't great. It was a fast read and there were parts that I liked, but I don’t think it was that good. There were quite a few typos, and a few times the sentences were so wonky that it took me out of the story. I never really felt myself rooting for the couple until the very end, and honestly Shae irritated me. I understand that she has trauma and she likes to be in control, but the constant stubbornness was annoying to me. It felt like her and Nick had the same conversation every time they were together about her needing to accept his help, but she didn’t want to. It was irritating lol. I just think she could’ve been written better so show her trauma without her coming off so annoying. It was pretty insta lovey, and I don’t think I love that.  Also, some of the spice?? A little cringe. Some of it was good, but some of it wasn’t. 


TLDR; Wasn’t for me, didn’t love the characters and their relationship that much, but it was a fast Christmas read.

None of the characters were likable. I didnt like Nicks character at all he ignored her wishes and acted very manipulative. Shea was just plain annoying and whiny.

So stinking cute!! Nick was so adorable! I'm a sucker for the cowboy hat trope fr. Was this kinda cliche and anti climatic? Yes. Do I care? No.

Tis the season to bulldoze your very new girlfriend's boundaries when she's healing from a past, abusive relationship. 

And did we just decide to skip editing of chapter 44 entirely? I can overlook the odd typo and spelling mistake, but this was a mess. The POV actually switched mid-paragraph multiple times.
