Worth the Wait by G.G. Gleason

5.0

This was the perfect slow-burn friends to lovers read for a rainy day like this.

V and J. R. touched my heart deeply. Their love story wasn’t just another one of two friends finding out they had feelings for each other, it was a story of two people that have always belonged together, but had to wait and grow in different ways until they realized they were meant for each other. That’s probably one of the things I loved the most about them as a couple, they simply fit with one another. They were the same people they had always been, but wiser and more matured. They went through a lot in the years they didn’t see each other, and even though they had grown as a person, they also had the dame familiarity and comfort around the other.

I feel such a bond with V, she represents every woman that has bravely re-born from the ashes of an abusive relationship. I loved her resilience and strength, she had so many insecurities and fears but she never let those defined her or kill her essence. My heart broke for her as I learned her story but also made me root for her happy ending. She really deserved it.

J.R. was the sweetest, most patient and understanding hero. I loved how respectful and supportive he was, even before he knew what happened to her. He acknowledged her and appreciated everything about her, the way he reassured her over and over was so heartwarming and swoony, it made my heart flutter because it was exactly what she needed at the moment.
