(4.5⭐) UHHG I LOVVVVVED THIS!!! A little paranormal/weird time bendy-wendy abstract bits in a contemporary romance?? Yes please! It just added such a fun element of something different to an otherwise relatively standard Second Chance Romance. Both MCs are smart, kind, funny, interesting, complicated, flawed people who grow and learn together to BE better as they fall in love throughout time.
!!!!! TW for suicide, and mourning/grief of a loved one!!!! - it is a minor part and handled respectfully and with a lot of heart, but still, be careful.
✨ Second Chance Romance...sort of? There's some weird time travel so it's like one of their first chances while also their third chance while it's the others second chance by also first...or something. It's good don't worry.
✨ She's a city gal with a Big Girl job that isn't fulfilling her wanderlust, he's a chef from a smaller town and trying to make a name for himself in the big city
✨ Both MCs have very sweet familial bonds - she grew up traveling with her eccentric Aunt, he is trying to make his grandpa proud 🫠🥹
✨ Themes of love throughout time - how to love someone who has grown into a different person, and how to grow into the person you want to be
🎧 Audiobook is wonderfully narrated by Brittany Pressley (she's done many other of my favorites con-roms, and never fails!)
🌶️.5/5, one pretty mild spicy scene, definitely not on the smutty side, it's more romantic and flowery
