I’m not to sure how to feel about this one… there was a couple of things that just didn’t feel like it usually does in an elsie silver book - I actually found myself a little bored, and also a little disturbed at the spice scenes.
there was nothing inherently bad but I really feel as though they added nothing at all to the plot and were there for shits n gigs
there was some good disability rep with wests son ollie having selective mutism but obviously he spoke to our fmc immediately because plot armour 🙄
the nicknames were quite hard to get through as well “fancy face” and “thick thighs”?! I felt myself die a little bit inside each time.
single dad thing was cute n all but there are just bits here and there that I felt like ruined it (like the 8 year old child wearing an apron with a wildly inappropriate saying 😳) - also any book that includes any type of song, EVEN if they are a “famous popstar” just gives me the ick so fast
high key think three stars is generous

I started this book ages ago when it first released and got about 15 pages in before I put it down, I thought I was bored, I was just not in the right mindset to truly enjoy this, so I’m glad I took a break and then came back. The first Rose Hill book was ok to me, not my fave, it just didn’t compare to the Chestnut Springs books (especially Hopeless, that book is pure swoon) which I think led me to think that this book, the second Rose Hill book would also fall flat, it didn’t.
I loved the single dad vibes. Emmy and Ollie were the true stars of the show, and I LOVED reading the interactions between Skylar and them. Skylar was also very well written, just enough trauma to give a good back story but also so much growth. Together West and Skylar had a beautiful love story.
Finally, I love how Elsie includes such rich and fun side characters that make the story seem so much more full and fun. Doris, Clyde, Rosie, Tabby, the whole crew makes the story so much more alive! I’m now pretty excited to read book 3 which just dropped recently :)
