4.5 ⭐️

I devoured this! It was so stinkin’ cute! 🫶🏻 I’m doing a tandem collective read and I’m not sure I would’ve picked this one up anytime soon, but I’m so glad I did! 

I really loved everything about it. It was sweet, funny, swoony, and light. Sometimes ya just need that, right? This was my first book by Sarah Adams and I’m here for whatever she writes now! LOVE! It made me feel all kinds of good and happy inside. ☺️

I also love the title and how it correlates with the book. Rome, Kentucky sounds like such a cute and cozy place! Noah and Amelia (Rae Rose is her pop star name) are super cute and cozy too. Again, I just loved everything about this read. 🩷

I was supposed to buddy read this a year ago, but I hit a book slump and never got to it. I’m so glad I made time for it finally! I adored this story, the couple, and all the meddling family/friends in town.

Cute. Adorable. Forced proximity y grumpy him x sunshine her, no necesito más.
