Note: audiobook

Sadly, this wasn't really my thing. I disliked the MMC's mindset, it took way too long and way too much from her. Some unnecessary tropes were added as well. Hopefully I'll enjoy the next in the series more than I did the first two.

It was fine.  But I didn’t feel like I cared enough at all about the book and it was a chore to listen too.  I still will continue with the series but this one just was meh.

The premise caught my attention and the it was easy to read. I thought it was just good. It kind of felt like the storyline was just tropes and everything felt pretty shallow. The MMC is a murder suspect at one point in the book, but that gets cleared up very quickly and cleanly. I don’t know that I would want that to be dragged out, but it makes me wonder why it was even included in the first place. I read this very quickly to see what happened, but was not invested. I think I liked the small part of Jackson’s little brother the most.

He once kissed me and now he doesn’t even know my name. 

Willa has had a crush on him ever since she was seventeen. But he never seems to have noticed her. Now times have changed and she is older now. Even with her being old enough to drink at his bar now, he seems to always look the other way. Jackson has not had the best upbringing but Hazel and Thea have shown him that there can be and there is better out there. But love is not something he wants or sees in his future. But when Thea draws a picture of a young beautiful woman his future might start looking differently. 

Small-town romances get me differently. They have me all giddy and nervous. This was a special one. Willa is such a put-together woman and seems to have figured life out. But when it comes to love she is chaos. Jackson has never felt love and he thinks love doesn’t exist. So every time the two met and opened a new door I turned into this child and all giddy. This book just made me feel like no matter how far two people can be from each other. If they are meant to be they will find the middle ground. And the rest will just unfold itself!

DNF @ 42%. Loved the first book of this series and was hoping to get another small town banger but atlas that was not the case. The plot overlap between this book and the first book just seemed to be a bit like an extra epilogue or bonus content when I was trying to be interested in the book that I’m currently reading.
The mmc is giving the guy you dated in college who was only interesting because he was hot and you wanted to be the one to fix him. And the fmc… we get it, you’re an awkward virgin. She was mad at the mmc and then all of a sudden was like ya know what, it’s fine please fuck me. Was just all around confusing
