Let me start by saying that I do not like friends to lovers stories AND YET THIS IS A 5 STAR REVIEW. Is it a little predictable? Yes. Obviously. But is it the kind of predictable that you're rooting for anyway so it's FINE? ALSO YES.

A slow burn that was too delicious not to put down! I think this one hit me harder than other friends to lovers because this is an experience I have been through (without a happy ending, but don’t worry I am better off for it😁) and was able to relate to many of the feelings Gianna and Riley went through.
I didn’t think this was as spicy as previous novels, but it was tender and loving and emotional that I have begun to love seeing from Cass

You will NOT find a friends to lovers story that is better than this one. It’s literally impossible. This beautiful story set the bar so high, no other story will be able to reach it.
Both Gianna and Riley were fantastic characters. They both experienced so much growth, it’s honestly inspiring. There were two moments in this book that were insanely embarrassing for me as the reader, but those are also two of my most favorite parts of the book because of how great the writing was. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a better example of excellent communication. The miscommunication trope upsets me greatly, and though there is some miscommunication here, the payoff is so good that I didn’t even notice. Genuinely.
I am at a loss for words. I giggled so much at this book. It was over 500 pages long, but I honestly wish it was longer. Gianna and Riley are my favorite fictional couple of all time and I will die on that hill. Thank you, and goodnight.
