Age rating: 17+ (4 ish spice scenes, 2/5🌶️)
This book exceeded my already high expectations, wow! This was a phenomenal sweet and spicy romance that was also extremely emotionally moving!! Everything about this book was amazing. I knew from the first ten pages that I was going to love this book, and I enjoyed every second of it.
The concept was so original, and combined real life (social media, specifically, Tiktok) in just the right way where it was NOT cringy at all and it didn’t take me out of the story. (Which is a very rare thing!)
Noelle and Theo both had such moving character arcs that are so relatable! I saw so much of myself in both of them, as they are trying to navigate life, failure, grief, and finding loving in the midst of all of it. Their connection was truly electric and “timeless” (as Taylor Swift would say). I loved Theo so much, and he became one of my top book boyfriends!!
I think this will be so moving and important to so many people, so if you’re on the fence, READ IT. Right now.
And can we talk about how this is a DEBUT??? Jessica Joyce is now an auto-buy author for me!
