Wowwww. 🤩 This was a top read of 2022 for me!

I honestly didn't think I would enjoy it from the blurb, but was pleasantly surprised! There were some twists and turns and the author keeps you guessing what's going to happen next. I also didn't expect to cry, but Beth O'Leary keeps the punches coming. 😭

While the main event takes place on Valentine's Day, it's not a specific holiday read so you can read it anytime. I can honestly see myself re-reading this one again soon!
