A. E. Valdez you ma’am better write your book! I loved everything about this story. Kyrell and Quinn are absolutely adorable and steamy. No this may not be a “friends to lovers”. However, A. E. writes these growing friendships and bonds with so much emotion and hopefulness. You’re right there with them like watching a movie but on paper. 

I love me some Kyrell and to see what he made of his life from what he had to deal with as a child was absolutely outstanding. The hurt, trauma, reopening of wounds to heal them, and finally knowing what love is was a journey. I would take the ride all over again. Kyrell’s growth is one for the books. Even Quinn had her own dealings with her parents and especially that mother’s of her. Being a daughter to a mother that wants you to play second fiddle to a man is demoralizing. Quinn never lost who she was and kept pushing. Became her own woman and such a sweet soul. I could go on about this book. Read it. 

Loved: 

-Yvette got what she deserved. 

-The Mother. 

-The go kart scene. 

-Camping trip. 

-The restaurant/triple date. Lmao!!!

-The motorcycle ride and so much more.
