I wanted to love this, but the first book set a high bar for me, and this one was nothing like it. It was beautiful but at the same time, I didn’t find the story as compelling. I’m not a fan of the whole “you’re too good for me and I don’t want to try things out, so let’s just stay friends while I intermittently give you mixed signals” trope. The FMC got on my nerves and at times, the story felt like it was dragging. I do think it was a good story overall, just not the one I was looking for.

MY FUCKING HEARTTTTT!!!! I think Jennifer Hartmann is quickly on her way to my “auto buy authors” list. One thing she knows how to write is a moving love story. It was funny, it was quirky, it was SAD and relatable and so human. The title of the book is genius once you know what it means. And she always sprinkles in the most beautiful easter eggs right at the end. I loved this, Syd and Oliver were everything!!!!

Jennifer Hartman’s ability to tell a story is fantastic. Her attention to detail is fantastic. Her characters have well-rounded personality traits that are realistic-as is the dialogue between them. I kind of love that her books are also dark…Bc let’s be real-life is scary and it sucks!
This was very enjoyable, and I flew through it. It reminded me of “Archer’s Voice”….but a little more believable and better written. I didn’t particularly love the ending, but overall-it was very good!

This is the best way to write a childhood friends to lovers trope. There is romance, mystery, thriller, etc. all rolled into one story. The ending had me in tears. ❤️
A slow, slow burn but totally worth it. I did not see that twist coming
