Sloane Winthrop has loved Jasper Gervais from the moment she saw him, but he’s never felt the same…until now?
This book is absolutely the perfect friends-to-lovers story. The tension was top-tier, and I loved the simple beauty of a story about finding the person who will always accept you for exactly who you are. POWERLESS made me tear up multiple times, and while some aspects of the third-act conflict were frustrating (again, as per usual) the ending was absolutely pitch-perfect.
Also, the snippets/teasers for RECKLESS???? I am absolutely feral.
If you haven’t read this series yet, literally what are you waiting for? Here’s your sign to get started.
CW: Infidelity; mentions of death of child/grief; injury/danger of loved one; mental health; toxic parental relationship/emotional abuse
