The Bellinger sisters series is my favorite from Tessa Bailey. I really enjoyed the pace of the story and the bond between the sisters and how it felt authentic. The romance and spice were enjoyable and not entirely cringey, and the love story felt realistic. I think Piper’s development was my favorite. She didn’t really change who she was to get the guy and never apologized for being who she is which is this fun and at times ditzy (in a good way) girl who enjoys life and likes to have fun. She always owned up to it while apologizing for genuine mistakes. She was a fun and lovable and relatable character for me.
