What I liked:

• Rhodes, who wouldn’t love him?
• A strong and independent woman as FMC, take that patriarchy and famous people thinking money can buy everything
• THE ROMANCE! 
• The found family dynamics, prepare your heart to melt many times 
• Small town  vibes (without the usual neighbour overload that comes with it), outdoor vibes 
• The growth arc for Aurora, I was truly happy for this character to heal, find herself centered again and loved
• The chemistry between both MCs, genuine and strong bond described over the book 
• No excessive smut scenes used as filler chapters, we cheered! Like they waited until it felt right and not just instincts and attraction?

What I liked less:

• Things which were said too many times:
  calling him my landlord, Why does she have to pee so many times, why do we get excessive repetitions of how hot is Rhodes (even if I still can’t imagine fully what he looks like), is it a way to compensate the age gap?
• I don’t know if it’s the lack of dual POV but I did not see the shift in their relationship, especially from Rhodes’. It’s like he fell before we even knew but just did not show it. I don’t like that shortcut to use a kind of grumpy x sunshine excuse and then make the grumpy say he fell first but did not show. Also he’s not really grumpy. And she’s not really sunshine by default, it’s more she’s become the one she felt was right
• going on a hike and get in trouble, trying to put the bat house and get trouble.. it felt a bit reckless from her
• the third act break up trope almost? I didn’t get how both guys would get angry when they found out about her ex, by that time they were already on the same page

slowest burn, im talking first kiss nearly 500 pages in. But ofc once they fell they fell hard. I was worried i wasnt gonna be able to relate to a 33yr old and 42yr old w a divorce and a child, but it didnt matter all that much and i liked the story. Amos is a great character. Wouldve liked more from jackie. Rhodes is such a strong man all around. Idk if i liked aurora all that much and idk if i would be friends w her.

That was such a great book! So fun. She was so funny and lighthearted.  He was so grumpy and reliable and devoted to his son.  Soo good.  So many moments I loved! When she injured hiking and he goes to where she said she’s hiking because he worried about her. As he should be. She seems to constantly get into these situations.  It was so emotional and such a slow burn.  The the subtle moments were so impactful.   Absolutely recommend.

It was a little too long. It dragged in some places. I really liked how their relationship developed though I didn't care for the nicknames situation -

Buddy (the Elf) is a cringey nickname and her thinking angel was him misremembering her name was just goofy.

I really liked the pacing as I felt it gave me a lot of room to get to know the characters and be invested when the slow burn paid off but I think it could've cut 10-20% of the telling herself her every thought in real time. Still a big fan and would read again. Also another small criticism

While cathartic, the mic drops on the ex and ex-MIL went a little too smoothly. Like.. is this a reliable narrator? levels of smooth lol

Worth the read? Yes

This book had me literally annoyed when I had to put it down. The only reason that it is not 5⭐️ is because of the third act conflict, as it felt like a mildly stupid argument which did get resolved in a cute way. Very good main characters with strong backstories and motives, and side characters were very lovable.
