This was a nice read. She worked with sensitivity readers and it landed well. The dedication is what drew me in (something like “For anyone who thought Jess was Rory’s best boyfriend.”) and I’m glad I tried it. The characters were lovable, the scenario felt real, and I just love a read where the communication isn’t just awful. They were actually pretty open considering the situation. Would indeed recommend for a quick, lovely book.

This was super sweet and was definitely enjoyable. Definitely insta-love, at least on one side, but the progression of feelings for both MMC and FMC felt pretty rushed. 

If there was a bit more development of the emotional attachment between the two MCs then this would have been a 5 star read. 

🌶️🌶️/5

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED


I have nothing to say other then i feel like there were to many time jumps so 1- you loose track of the time and don’t realize how much time has passed ( i think it’s like 5 or 6  months but it could very well be like 2 or 3) and 2- we don’t really see Chloe and Warrens relationship grow come together so when they tell eachother they love eachother i was like “damn wow okay that was quick” no it wasn’t theyve known eachother for months, i believe that they would love eachother but i didn’t really get to see the relationship forming because of the time jumps.
