COULDN’T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! Sarah Adams did it again. She wrote a book where the characters are loveable and relatable. Also, the plot is so good. Perfect timeline of the relationship forming. I loved seeing the characters grow as well!

I was provided an eARC by the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own… yes I know I’m very late. Oops.

Annie is seen by everyone as the sweet, innocent friend that would never swear and needs to be protected at all costs. The youngest child, she never knew her parents like her siblings did. So, to not add to their pain Annie hid her feelings and put on a happy smile. She played the part of the innocent little sister and was even called “Angel Annie” by her sisters.

When Annie has yet another disastrous date, this time witnessed by none other than Will Griffin— the sexy, bad boy bodyguard of her soon-to-be sister-in-law. Amelia sets the two up, suggesting Will can tutor Annie through her awkwardness on dates. The two have an instant chemistry— but Annie wants to marry, and Will doesn’t believe in love. Slowly, these seemingly polar opposites tear down the others walls and realize they have more in common than meets the eye.

Man I wish I picked this up sooner. I swear Annie Walker is ME. I need a Will Griffin in my life, for real.

Read if you like:
• Sarah Adams books
• romance reads 
• small town romance
• good girl/bad boy trope
• “fake” dating trope (kinda?)
• Audrey Hepburn

I did NOT know I would love this book as much as I have and can't understand the bad reviews it's been getting. it's so much more than a romance, you truly know they have been in love since the beginning and are merely trying to express their fellings and learning how to love other people. There is so much character growth and I found their traumas to be very relatable. Also loved the way their relationship with their siblings is portrait and changing through out the book. There was just something missing about the way the small town is described, I could not picture it just right but I guess that is done in the first book Wich I did not read yet. I'm really hoping there will be more books about the two sisters who are left because I feel like there was a lot of things left opened for them.
