So. Freaking. Good. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series.
6.19.23: I love these two so much. Such a good start to a wonderful series.
3.13.24: How does it get better every time I read it? Some of my favorite moments without spoiling anything: whiskey and peanut butter cups, clean-shaven face, "Willa!," & the A-frame.

Closed Door Mods: Chapter 18 (some parts), Chapter 27 (some parts), Chapter 29, Chapter 30 (some parts)
Such a cute read! Loved Liese’s writing style and her inclusion of disabled leads (also, I think Ryder Bergman is my new book boyfriend). Some parts of the ending could have been condensed, but epilogue was adorable. Will definitely be reading her future works and you need to read Only When It’s Us if you’re looking for a slow-burn, frenemies-to-lovers book with a disabled main character and has great banter.

Well I sobbed my way through at least half of this book. To the point that I'm surprised I could still read the words on the page.

Ryder and Willa were really sweet, and I surprised myself by crying. I loved the college setting and both protagonists being strong and athletic. (Ryder is still super tall but I never felt like the author over-emphasized Willa’s shorter stature.)
My library still had the 2021 version, so I’m interested to see if there were any more changes from that to the Berkeley version that pubbed last month.
Smut level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
