thank you to netgalley for an earc!
i was excited for this one after reading “bet on it” last year and i enjoyed this one for sure. i love that we had a bisexual fmc but also other lgbtqia+ side characters. regardless of its downfalls, i love the small town this series takes place in. my biggest gripes/irritants come from the couple’s reason for being married but separated for EIGHT YEARS!!! their entire reason for being apart was built on kind of on a miscommunication, and i hate when that happens. also, i felt like miri really was really making leo work for winning her back (as she should!!) but then it felt like she just gave in so quickly at the end. all-in-all, i enjoyed the book and had a good time, just a few things i didn’t love that really stuck with me. i would recommend this one though because i feel like i’m pretty picky with second chance romances.
⚠️: abandonment, infidelity (not mcs), death of parent, racism
