Listened on audiobook and overall enjoyed it. Loved the representation and the characters. It was a bit cheesy at times, but still fun and entertaining.

I LOVE strong female main characters & Vanessa Jared is definitely it. I loved her character in this book so much because she was a force of nature, but had real flaws & struggles. She felt relatable & memorable.

The chemistry between Vanessa and Michael was AMAZING and filled w/ all of the messy moments of forced proximity in a small town (along with some spice).

This was such a fun read & I can’t wait to read more by this author!

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the arc.

I absolutely loved this book. I am usually not one for Insta-love but Michael and Vanessa were perfect! I love the dialogue around healing from emotional abuse and trauma. I love the strong friend groups and women who uplift other women. The side characters were truly amazing and friends that you would want in your corner. 

I think what I loved the most was the character growth for Vanessa. She truly has an amazing character arc and I loved how strong she is. She talks about her ex and the abuse she suffered and you know he is the bad guy but that storyline does not take over the entire book. It is a foundation for the growth of Vanessa's character and it's done beautifully. Highly recommend!
