⚠️CW: Very light mentions of racism and death of a parent⚠️

This is one of the first romance books I've ever read! I've read books that have a romantic sub-plot but never a full on romance book and my god was this an amazing one to start with! Jasmine Guillory is one of my favorite authors and I absolutely adore this book! Izzy and Beau are just so loveable as characters! They both have such realistic flaws and it makes you fall in love with them even more! Not to mention the fact that Izzy's job is book publishing and she is a total book worm! Like name a more relatable character! I'll wait... I also really like how when there was an argument they actually sat down and talked to each other! If there is one thing I hate more than anything it's when conflicts that could be resolved by sitting down and having an adult conversation drag on for years. That didn't happen in this book and I love that!
AND OMG THAT ENDING!!! WHEN IZZY READ THE JOURNAL I LOST IT!
<333 You need to read this book immediately! This is probably one of my new favorite books! Just writing this review is making me smile SO much just thinking about the book!!! God it's amazing!
