I absolutely adored the ending of this book! This was my first book by Tessa Bailey and I will definitely be reading more. I really enjoyed how she move in different threads and themes into a romance especially the need to believe in yourself.

Moderate: Infidelity and Death of parent

Sexual content is all consensual but one scene does feel a little iffy due to Fox telling Hannah he can “change her mind” They’re not having sex, but this may still be triggering to some. This happens near the end of chapter ten. She also says no twice when asked if Fox can join.

I think I liked this??? Surprised that I enjoyed this less than the first book in the series. Loved the PNW setting as well as the music references. Very fun.

I love Hannah and Fox as main characters, I wanted more of them in the first book and this didn't disappoint. I love their shared journey, and I love how positive and observant Hannah is and how hard Fox is trying to move past his emotional blockages for both himself and for Hannah.

Minor: Toxic relationship, Death of parent, and Alcohol

As with most Tessa Bailey books, this is very spicy and during the spice there is cursing. Like the first book mentions, Hannah and her sister own a bar so alcohol does come up. The rest of the content warning does require slight spoilers:

In college Fox does think he's in a serious relationship, only to find out the girl he's dating saw him as a free pass while she dated her real boyfriend. This seriously messed up Fox's view of himself and was a toxic first relationship to be in. Fox had been considered a womanizer due to his father's actions and everyone's assumptions about how his son would turn out. This meant that Fox's life revolved around sex from a young age and even after his father's death this was perpetuated by his mother, his friends, and the other locals.
