This book had so many things I love: sad men, childhood friends to lovers, complicated family dynamics. The premise is absolutely ridiculous but I adored both grandfathers so much that I simply did not care. Kamilah and Liam were so sweet. The biggest issue I had was how awfully Kamilah’s family treated her and how quickly that was resolved. She deserved more justice!!!

omfg this was really really good. i LOVED the banter between kamilah and liam - like ughhh it was so freaking good and hot and i just kept screaming, "just bang already!!" because these two are fire. i really enjoyed the meddling of the grandpas, although at points, it felt a little *too* far for my liking. AND THE SMUT?!?!!? SO HOT - like omg i was sweating. i think the only thing i wanted was more of liam's past and seeing him address going to therapy earlier on in the story - like i am glad that they ended up going in the last chpater/epilogue but i needed more, because it was already pointed out earlier that he had PTSD and depression from losing his father. also i needed more on why his mom wasn't in the picture. i feel like this was briefly touched and then never mentioned again i am very excited to continue this series!!

I liked how fleshed out the characters were, I liked how laugh out loud funny it was, I liked the second chance romance aspect, I liked the pumpkin patch scene, and although it makes my heart hurt (and I hope it gets resolved later on if this turns into a series) I like the realistic aspect of what happened with Sofi. I liked the heart and culture and FOOD behind this book. Really enjoyable read!
