I enjoyed this book. Very cute and set in Charleston which is fun as a Charleston girl.
Female main character is fighting for her independence and paving her own way in life as a woman with a disability (epilepsy), and has a service dog, Charlie. Love Charlie, such a good boy. Male main character has commitment issues after a bad divorce, and is also a single dad. I liked the dynamic a lot between these two and some of the conflicts that arise throughout the story.
Some of the story was kinda predictable and felt rushed in a way. Also, if I had to hear the FMC talk about the MMC’s “incredibly hot body” one more time, I was going to scream. Like I get it, love that for you, but tell us what else you like about him pls.
And my final gripe was the epilogue. First, the random happily ever after pregnancy made me roll my eyes. Second, the very brief resolution between the FMC and her parents. I wish that would’ve been part of the main story more to build up to this happy ending. Rather than the parents being the worst humans ever and then all of a sudden being fine?
Overall, I did like the book and would probably recommend it to other romance readers in Charleston, but wouldn’t say it’s the best thing I’ve ever read either.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
