As predictable as you would expect from a romance/rom-com and I love that! The characters and story were cute and I was defs stressing during the classic “things are going wrong toward the end before they get better” situation, even though I obviously knew it would all be okay. 

The writing style of Tessa kinda drew me out of the story more often than I would like, but that is just more of a preferences/me-thing.

Overall a nice, cute, fun read.

The Bellinger sisters series is my favorite from Tessa Bailey. I really enjoyed the pace of the story and the bond between the sisters and how it felt authentic. The romance and spice were enjoyable and not entirely cringey, and the love story felt realistic. I think Piper’s development was my favorite. She didn’t really change who she was to get the guy and never apologized for being who she is which is this fun and at times ditzy (in a good way) girl who enjoys life and likes to have fun. She always owned up to it while apologizing for genuine mistakes. She was a fun and lovable and relatable character for me.

Very sexy and sweet. It's been a while since I've read a more steamy romcom and I don't think I've ever heard so many names for vagina. Well played!
