Well that was a pretty perfect romance. I really love romance books that have more than just romantic love, but also friendship love. It’s such a great parallel story. Bridget and Felix were perfect.

Predictable, but likely my second favourite Carley fortune novel.

3 ⭐️ I went back and forth on this one. The premise made it difficult for me to suspend my disbelief. I love my friends. Idk if I’m getting on a 2 hour flight to their hometown two weeks before her wedding (where I am a vendor???) with NO justification. If Bridget had just been honest with Lucy from the jump it would have made more sense for me. The “I can’t talk about it but I need you here” was tough. Especially when Lucy didn’t know if the wedding was still on. As a vendor that puts her small business in a crazy spot. I didn’t buy into Lucy and Felix until later on (4-5 years in maybe??) and then the third act breakup felt so forced. Felt like we could have been doing some of that personal growth over the full 5 years not in a last 6 months montage.

I liked this one a lot. I loved Lucy and Bridget’s friendship. And the secret connection between Lucy and Felix was great with the tension building over the five years. I did find the 372 references to her hair braids and nightgowns a little weird, but with the nod to Anne of Green Gables, I guess it checks. (Paperback)

love it. Olin ehkä jopa kaivannukkii tällästä kirjaa ja ootin hirveesti just tätä teosta! Nautin ja tykkäsin sikana miten täs pysy jännitys koko ajan yllä vaik Carleyn kirjotustapa ja juonenkäänteet onki jo tuttua.
