This is so BORING!! Most of the book is just wedding planning! I absolutely hate the miscommunication trope as well. Ama is an idiot. She ruins her own life and we are supposed to feel bad for her? No. 

Boooooooo

I lovedddd Elliot, he was the perfect grump with a major soft spot for his girl even when she’d get on my nerves 😭

Wowowow, this book really knocked me out with how good and how emotional it became. I found myself staying up far (far) too late to keep reading, I was so invested in Elliot and Ama's evolving connection.

The split between Elliot in the past and Ama in the present did a lot toward making the second-chance romance work, and I looked forward to both sides of the story. And DAMN it got me tearing up, thinking about their emotional journey. A fair amount of readers complain about the wedding planning taking over the romance, and while I understand the criticism, for me Elliot's POV definitely balanced it out.

AH this book was truly so much better than I expected, and I am so grateful for that.

It kinda felt like Ama was a different character in the present chapters versus the flashbacks, and that threw me a little. I loved how grumpy Elliot was. And I’d kill to see one of their weddings in real life. The descriptions of the flowers and venues were my favorite part.

2.0

Elliot was consistently rude and yet I'm supposed to believe he can run a business with that attitude. Ama was consistently stupid about Whitney. Like girl stop being suspicious and admit the truth you are experiencing. I didn't really get the romance in this book. I could see the lust, didn't really even get they were in love until way later in the book. I think we needed a bit more time with Ama's thoughts on her averison to marriage. I felt there was a lot that could have been unpacked there. Elliot's background could have been developed a bit more as well. Like why did his mom need to be a senator? Jackie was fine but Hazel was a bit of a brat.
P.S. This whole wedding planning was stressful.

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Romance: 💘 💘💘💘💘

I loved this story so so so so much!!! Truly. It was such a unique way to share their story. Dual POV but the FMC’s pov is in the present time and the MC’s pov are flashbacks. I really thought that was a unique way to share their story. I do wish we got a little bit more of the love story at the end. But truthfully this was such a beautiful and real love story. I absolutely adore Elliot. Delicious spice too!

i'm not even joking when i say movie producers call julie soto's agent RIGHT NOW for movie adaptation license. this is what i imagine when i think of books that feels like early 2000s romcom movies. it was hot, it was funny, it was the perfect portion of drama and comedy!! amalliot's bickering and banters got me cackling yet the second chance romance angst makes me ache sooo bad. i love it when the grump in grumpysunshine is the type of person who never loves anyone before her and can't love anyone else after her *screaming*

ps. the myth is right after all, amaryllis do fell in love with the man who loved flowers ;)
pps. i need to see elliot's tattoos.

Grumpy/sunshine second chance romance? That’s my jam. I thought Ama and Elliott’s story was sweet and that they had good chemistry.
