A fun read! I think Score developed her characters really well, giving readers enough time to get to know them from multiple perspectives and understand their various personality traits. Also, her pacing of the plot was really enjoyable, offering the audience space to absorb and process scenes, most of which contributed to the forward momentum of the story and provided valuable context about the people, places, and circumstances within the novel. Further, I appreciated that the third-act conflict was based on unhealed traumas that one can learn to navigate and cope with, especially with the help of loved ones, rather than miscommunication or jealousy or external forces. This made Naomi and Knox’s relationship feel deeper and its problems more solvable. I look forward to reading the next book!

It is a good book with many very good quotes to remember. The plot worse nice and all the characters was loveable but I just wish that the climax point was better made it. For me personally was a lot boring and not shocking or exciting. But other than that it is a good book. I and I will read the next one for sure.

I did not have any knowledge of the plot when picking this book up and was so surprised at how quickly I became invested in the town of Knockemout and its stories. I couldn’t put this book down over the last three days! Knox and Naomi are infectious and their stories made me want to keep reading. I found the characters to be interesting and lovable, and their downfalls made them even more likable. I spent the entirety of the book rooting for them in hopes that they’d reach their happily ever after. I’m usually not a reader of romance novels, but this one had me hooked! A bit of spicy content is in store for Lucy Score’s novel, and it made it even more interesting than it was to begin with!!

Not particularly convincing or well written, and definitely too long, but it had a certain entertainment factor and a few likeable characters.
