Okay, but not my favorite. Should have content warnings for briefly mentioned suicidal thinking and disordered eating.

Jasper and Sloane were adorable! Their will they won't they childhood love was super cute! I appreciate their communication about issues but my issues comes from something else. Although the "cousins" thing isn't my issue it is a tad weird. My issue comes from the sudden 180 Sloane has in regards to the wedding. In the beginning she is adamant on marriage and that her dad has her best interest at heart. All it takes is one video of Sterling fucking a stripper? It just feels like she'd go to her dad and not Jasper with all the backstory given on why she was getting married in the first place.

3⭐️This should’ve been the best book in the series thus far. As a friends-to lovers story, it should’ve had the emotional development/connection that the previous books lacked. Instead it was the opposite. Both of the characters spend hundreds of pages in their heads thinking “Oh I am like madly in love with this person but there’s no way they’ll reciprocate. I can’t ruin this/lose them.” Yet you still don’t really know why they love each other so much. They drag on like this for a LONG time. It became very repetitive and by the end I wasn’t a fan of either of the characters. Also the storyline with the mmc’s brother was such an unnecessary downer. This book wasn’t the worst, but it sure wasn’t for me.
