Overall okay, but their

lack of communication issues (especially when they were supposed to be so close after knowing each other for 20+years) and the way they lashed out at each other so deeply/personally when something small came up, comes off as the makings of a toxic relationship. There was also more than one point where they both drank and drove home, which is not great to be representing in any form.

Honestly if you’re going to have a library and books in the first 20 pages and on the cover I’m sold. I definitely love romances and this was a classic romance. I did like the twist that the main character was very vocal and communicative. There wasn’t a lot of misunderstandings that were addressed pretty early on. I thought that the main character did a lot of the things that I would do if I was in that situation and I definitely fell in love with these two childhood friends. I definitely love the smut scenes and wish there were more. I definitely think it’s one of the better books I’ve read this year and highly recommend!
