3 stars cause I liked the first book more and I did not cry during this one.
So parts of this is cute friends to lovers romance. The rest is Drew driving himself crazy by trying to do so many things on his farm, that he cannot take break and he is still behind schedule so his anxiety levels are of the roof. And mine were too at times. Cause Drew is one those people who gets so anxious that they cannot see that they already accomplished a lot and can´t seem to find confidence in their work, but also are not able to ask for help. So yeah I have been stressing with this man and I am on my break, which was supposed to be stress free...
And the romance? I do not think there was that much of it. Penny and Drew knew other since high school and ever since they met Drew liked her, but was afraid of things changing between them. Drew needs a little push, which arrives in a form of Abelardo, Penny´s handsome childhood friend, who seems to be really close to her. Overall it was sweet, cute and short read.

What happened to Penny i was so excited, GOD this was a let down.
But drew is kind of still soft? but now the highlight was whit and cooper. Kind of messy. didn't like this one that much.

Lots of pining. Enjoyed that this was a continuation of a story, the first M-M and the second M-F (diversity in romance is a great thing!) I like Kit Oliver’s writing a lot.

I really really enjoy Kit Oliver's writing and this sequel was no exception. Cooper continues to be hilarious and wonderful, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see Whit continue to love Cooper's crazy.
And as a fan of the first book, it was great to see Drew and Penny figure out that they're in love...or rather, figure out how to talk about it.

I really loved this. I did find Drew's self-deprecation to get a bit grating but I think that reflects more realistically what it's like to struggle with anxiety and the pressure to be perfect.

I had to read this one because I loved the last one and particularly loved Drew as a side character. Penny wasn't my favorite; I felt like she was a little less developed than the rest of them, though that improved by the end of this book.
I was initially uncertain because I thought it was going to be another book where the characters have been in love with each other for years and the only reason they haven't talked about it is because they're bad at talking about feelings (like the last book in the series, with Cooper and Whit.) I definitely buy it for Drew, but not so much for Penny. I was glad to find out that there was a real, serious reason underlying her hesitance. Drew didn't have his shit together, he didn't listen, and he didn't make time for her. Completely understandable that she felt like she deserved to be treated better than that.
I felt like Drew's efforts at the end to make things right were lovely, and also realistic. Someone with that much anxiety and that much work to do isn't going to get everything running perfectly right away, but he makes an effort to do something special for her and also starts some realistic plans about how to get things working better on the farm.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and I am definitely going to be reading Kit Oliver's other book next, then watching out for their future work!
