- I LOVE romances with dual POV. It really makes me feel like I get to know the male lead better.
- I usually don’t like alternating between past and present but I really like the way Soto does that in this book. It’s also utilised so well in showcasing the development of Ama and Elliott’s relationship.
- The side characters weren’t anything special but they served their purpose and I liked them well enough.
- One thing I wish was different is that I wanted to see
Ama and Elliott talk things out earlier in the present. There was so much build up of tension and emotions that I felt that an argument would just burst out between them where they just vented out everything on their mind about how things ended. - Overall really loved this story, will definitely reread in the future.

Ama is an up and coming wedding planner who lands a huge job with a major client, downside is she has to work alongside her ex, Elliot.
Elliot is mean and brooding, Ama is a little delulu with a crazy family. The story is told with dual timelines which I enjoyed so we see current events and jump back to their initial relationship. I loved Ama's drive and determination (even if her judgement was a little off at times) and Elliot's tender side despite his prickly demeanour.
The couple had great chemistry, real issues to overcome and lots of humour amidst the angst.
My only gripe was how long it took Ama to see what a cowbag her old boss was. Grief lol.

I actually loved the depth it went into with the MCs feelings, as well as their work, because they were both so important to them for different reasons. The development of relationships and the secondary characters also made the book so much more fun and colourful.
I will definitely be keeping an eye out for new books by Julie Soto going forward - her writing is addictive. All in all, this is a new favourite for me!
