Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Tropes: Ex’s Rival, Road Trip, Forced Proximity, Grumpy/Sunshine, Only One Bed, Sapphic Subplot.

3rd Act Breakup?: Yes

The Praise: I absolutely loved this. Millie’s so kind, funny, and trusting and I really enjoyed her interactions with Hollis and that he embraced her weirdness and loved her because of it. The banter was hilarious and their chemistry was electric.

I really enjoyed that Rose and Elsie’s love story was interspersed with Millie and Hollis’s. It emotionally wrecked me in the best way.

The Critique: I wish there was an epilogue!

Final Thoughts: Sweet, funny, heart-wrenching. Such an incredible book, a definite favorite of the year. Sarah has quickly become a new favorite of mine!

This book has been on my TBR for AGES!!! I finally bit the bullet and boy did it deliver. This book is quirky, lighthearted, and funny but also reflective and a story on unrequited love. It’s more complex than most other rom-coms. There were parts where I was royally pissed off at the character but it all worked out in the end. I recommend! I look forward to reading her next book

this book gripped me by the throat and would not unhand me for days after I finished it. I laughed, I sobbed. Molly is my baby I love and adore her so much. I loved the way the present and past were weaved together without feeling out of place. definitely one of my favorites of the year!

Picked this up at the library on a whim and finished it in one evening. The story itself was sweet but the story it’s wrapped around made me cry big sobs and my heart just clenched. Also had solid 70’s music references. As a very weird extrovert into that era of music, I related to Millie so much.

I loved both the present day and historical stories (maybe equally) which is so refreshing since usually one is written significantly stronger than the other. There was a twist toward the end that I didn't really like but other than that this was one of my favorite romance novels that I've read in awhile.
