[Bromance bookclub #5]

“The sunshiny one always falls for the grumpy one, honey. It’s science.”

Maybe she doesn’t want to run away. Maybe she just wishes someone would ask her to stay.

🎄 Second chance romance
🎄 Insta-love
🎄 Sunshine & Grump
🎄 Estranged family
🎄 Some growth in MCs; mainly surrounding familial hang ups and self worth. Their communication as a couple does not develop as much as previous books in the series & there is a lot left unsaid/unresolved by the ending.

I’m not convinced they could come back from the third act break up this quickly…

🎄 Found family
🎄 Lawyer & Country Music Star
🎄 Emotional & physical abuse by a family member are discussed & somewhat glossed over. 🚩
🎄 Epilogue

⚠️ Mild violence, physical abuse (not on page), emotional abuse, toxic familial relationships, blackmail, an arrest, references of deportation.
