When I picked up this book I was not expecting it to take the twists and turns that it did. I thought it would be a cute brother’s best friend romance but it was so much more. Check the trigger warnings because this does dive deep into topics like C-PTSD.

I think my favorite parts were Leo’s chapters. I enjoyed understanding things from his perspective to bring new dimensions to his character. It allowed me to see him as more than a prideful jerk. He definitely had layers to him.

The found family aspect was cute and I liked that there was almost this Friends feeling to it of them all living in the same building together.

This a slow burn enemies to lovers with a wild plot twist but it all works out in the end! Congrats to this indie author on publishing a book and tackling some extreme tough topics! 🩵
