The sexual tension between Janie and Gus was so good. The story progressed naturally, nothing felt forced. Loved each character so dearly, I was so invested! Definitely one of the best romances ive read, i couldnt bring myself to put it down lol. Now i want to read Gus and January's books, shame they're only fictional😭

I enjoyed the characters and the relationship with family but I found this book very slow and also that not a lot was going on.

I had to read this book in sections as an assignment for my class, and I can't emphasize how difficult that was when I always wanted to read more. I loved January and Gus, and I'm always a sucker for the

"love interest has been hopelessly in love with main character for years while said main character actively dislikes them" trope.

One thing I found incredibly frustrating was

Gus' marriage. I don't necessarily hate that he was married, as he was technically separated, but the way that he confesses to January that he thought about going back to his wife while he was telling January that he actually chose her?? Why was he messing with my girl's emotions like that.

Overall, I was a huge fan, and I felt like this was one of the few books I've read that didn't feel rushed in the end, and everything I wanted to know more about was wrapped up.

(Although, I have to admit that I was kind of hoping for a little January and Naomi confrontation, but I can live without it.)

I really can't recommend this book enough. It's such a relaxing read that always seems to be moving forward but still doesn't move too fast.
