I think Roscoe is one of my favorite characters in this series so I was excited to read his story.
This second chance, friends-to-lovers romance had way more intrigue and action that the previous ones. I was pleasantly surprised by the change of pace here. I was afraid it would take away from the romantic storyline but the balance was good.
I love Roscoe's memory and the impact it has on everything he does. To be fair, it sounds like a challenging thing to live with. But watching him grapple with it was real and gritty. And the racism Simone experiences throughout, how everyone handles it, unfortunately felt pretty realistic, too.
Having read this far into the series, I'm most impressed by how all the storylines tie together in an effortless, organic way. Juggling all these personalities and plots must be a beast and Reid does it so well.
I'll always recommend this series!
