Having read Icebreaker and thinking it was good but not great, I thought Wildfire would follow suit, but I was actually really surprised. There were details about Russ that reminded me of my own bf and Aurora for myself (less on my part, but I’m going to argue they were smaller characteristics lol). It felt like I was able to look into my own relationship a bit. I also think Grace did a great job keeping cohesive characteristics despite the alternating character chapters.

One things for sure… this book is not timeless 😅 there are some physically cringe moments and questionable dialogue, which originally had me rating this a 4/4.5, but the raw and real emotions that I felt and that were exhibited between Russ and Aurora made up for it all. The realisticness of each situation, how they reacted, who they turned to, what the outcomes were… it all just felt right. I felt like this story focused  on that emotional connection and complexity while still being spicyyy 🌶️
