I did not like this book the way so many others seem to. I have enjoyed other Melissa Tereze romances before, but this one just did not click with me. I was really enjoying the beginning of the novel as Cate and Harper got together, but I found the last third of the book to be repetitive. There are constant communication issues where one character overthinks the heck out of something small, lots of having to reassure the other that they are so happy, repetition of things from the beginning of the story ("I wasn't looking for a relationship when I moved here, etc.). There were times I wanted to shake each one of them to snap out of their past relationships and realize that if they don't then they will lose the perfect person that is right in front of them. I found all of this to be frustrating and not enjoyable.

Chapter 3 and Jude gave me whiplash already. Wow.
Had to go see a doctor this morning, I was afraid I became diabetic after so much sappiness. LMAO. JK, they were quite sweet, bordering on too much, but not quite there and I really liked it. REally, at some point I decided to see the percentage thinking I was, maybe, around 50% in, but I was way over 70% with the reading being so light,enjoyable and cosy.
Although I was starting to get frustrated with all the back and forth and need of reassurance from both MC at some point, I can totally understand why they were like that. One is almost a hermit, the other had a Callie doing a number on her... what's not to be insecure? I looooved the lack of heavy drama, though it made me wait for the other shoe to drop during the whole reading, so when the book ended and nothing overly dramatic happened I was a bit lost (my bad haha), but it just made me even more pleased with the story.
Needless to say, anything Melissa writes has a hot take, so should I really take the time to point it out?

Two grown women acting like teenagers, having constant communication issues and overthinking everything. It just became monotonous at some point.

Honestly, the book was a bit dragged out for my taste and got boring. It lacked the humor for me but it was still a good book with interesting characters.

"You just have this pull I can't seem to drag myself away from."
This line from the book is exactly how I felt while reading it. I can barely put it down...I just had to keep reading until I finished it in the wee hours of the morning.
I enjoy Melissa's books and this one definitely did not disappoint. Harper and Cait just have this palpable connection that I find myself smiling whenever they are together. And Cait....I absolutely fell in love with her.
A good start to my reading plans this 2021.

Harper and Cait make a great couple. They have some great friends and family to support them. Harper’s ex really did a number on her. Cait did a wonderful job helping her realize that she wasn’t the problem in her last relationship. They worked together to find a balance between work and life. This is a lovely romance with plenty of heat.
