Ah! I’m so glad that I finally got the chance to read this book! Here are the things I loved about it.
🤍 The sweet friendship that blossomed between Rosie and Lucas
🤍 The time that was taken for the two characters to get to know one another.
🤍The slow burn chemistry
🤍 How the characters from the first book were still present in the second book.
🤍 Really I just loved how these characters got to know each other through these dates, and how they tied into Rosie’s career. It was sweet, swoon-worthy, and I know that I will come back and enjoy reading this book again.
A few things that I wanted more of:
- I wished Lina and Aaron had been more present in this book. I feel like they were really secondary, and I wished that Rosie would have been more open with her relationship with her cousin.
- I think I wanted to know how Rosie’s book ended up doing and if it was received as well as the first one. The book ends and we know that Lucas is working on self healing and moving on, but I wanted to know where Rosie was at!
Overall, this was a really lovely romantic comedy, and I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a sweet, lighthearted low stakes romance book. Can’t wait to read another book by Elena Armas!
