So I’d wanted to read this author’s book in the first collection of The Coffee Loft series, but didn’t have time to fit it in. I was able to read this one and boy am I glad I did! I sped through this delightfully sweet story, finished in one day basically! Gia and North were sweet and perfect together. And I loved the axolotl that they talked about, that it was such a cute little lizard both in a stuffed animal, and in North’s classroom as well.
The small town aspect was a lot of fun as well, the characters working at the Coffee Loft shop, as well as Gia’s father. Then there was Gia’s brother. He was a villain, and caused so many issues in this story! From the reason they didn’t get together in high school, to even trying to keep them apart as adults, when her brother wasn’t even talking to her or really her father that much either. I liked the story arc for her brother, North’s former best friend.
The reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars though, also kind of has to do with the brother. I feel like maybe I needed more of a reason why he was the way he was about his friend dating his sister. Also, I would have liked more than a side note at what happened with the brother when things got “solved”. Other than that little bit, I adored this story and hope to read more by this author in the future! This is a sweet and clean romance, short and sweet as well!
