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 think most of this book was five star for me, so mucc of it was so good and the conversations and characters were so realistic. However I listened to the audiobook and I don’t speak Spanish. So when the author did not provide translations, which was most of the time, I worried I might miss something important.
Then the ending… The third act break up was awful. These two have a LOT of problems to work through individually and together if the way they talked to each other was any indication. The MMC’s fear of letting anyone close and his hurtful way of pushing Camila away over and over made him an unlikable main character for me. I like when book boyfriends are able to admit that they’re in love. In the author forgot to address the fight Camilla had with her friend before the end of the book.
I’m definitely going to read the next in the series, and even though I loved the narrator, I might have to read the ebook this time so I can look up translations.
