*Sweetest in the Gale* by Olivia Dade was a book I really wanted to love! It had all the ingredients for a great read: part of a series I'm really enjoying, about two teachers hosting a poetry awareness event together, and featuring a fiercely independent heroine.
And it did have all of those things. I found it very cute and charming. However, for me, the pacing felt a bit slow, and I wished for a bit more passion and chemistry between the characters. That said, Candy and Griff are incredibly lovable and sweet, making the story enjoyable overall.
While it wasn’t my absolute favorite out of the three I’ve read so far, it still has many delightful moments that fans of the series will appreciate.
