I have to say, I was pushed toward this book by its beautiful cover, and it didnโ€™t disappoint. I loved every page - from the embarrassing meet cutes and continual run-ins to the way Finn fell so hard. I especially loved Finnโ€™s nieces and their personalities.

The way this book was written felt real. Like two normal people falling in love. It was real and a little messy and overall felt like a great big hug.
