childhood friends to lovers has never made me feel the way that sloane and jasper have made me feel.
sloane was everything to me. the way she grew with each chapter was written perfectly, even though she still had some doubts, her healing journey was so moving. she was such a badass, but had her sensitive moments (as everyone does), and her entire personality had me obsessing over her the whole book. no man will ever tell her what she can and can’t do ever again period. she had always been strong, but seeing her become even stronger and truly find herself was everything i was hoping for and more.
sweet jasper made me feel all the emotions under the sun. i feel for him and my heart broke for him so many times, especially whenever he second guessed himself and doubted his ability to love/be loved. all that man needed was for someone to show him what he deserved, and sloane did exactly that. and all that sloane needed was for someone to make her a priority, and jasper showed her exactly what it meant to be loved by him and to be a priority to him.

I like a friends to lover's story, and with a runaway bride too, really thought it would be good. It started off quite well, but I didn't feel their connection had any depth romantically.
I hated the controlling nature Jasper had during intimate moments, it felt like it wasn't even the same character.
Everything is so surface level. I wish we had seen Sloane have a conversation that wasn't about/with a man.

I loved how the characters softly and gently helped each other grow through their pasts and become better and more confident for it.
