Another winner for Chestnut Springs 😭

This would have been a 5 star read if I didn't have to yell "JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER!!" a million times. I understand the trauma, but I also hate a miscommunication trope.

I adore Sloane and the sisterhood that is forming from female friendship. She was strong and feisty and so cute. 

This one also got me excited for Winter's story. This did a good job of making her seem human and loveable. 

More books completed in the series than left to read... and that breaks my heart.

This book would have been a solid 4 ⭐️ if it weren’t for a couple things. 1) Flashback narration was set apart by a jarring echo effect that was unpleasant and distracting. At first I thought there was something wrong with my device. It took a while to accept that it was actually intentional. 2) I really don’t like a man choking a woman or putting a hand on her throat forcefully during sex, even when it’s fully consensual. That is dangerous and, to me, deeply unsexy. Other than those elements, this was overall a satisfying friends-to-lovers story about two people learning to live authentically and reclaim their own power.
